An alpine rock climbing course for those looking to take
their rock climbing skills onto the high peaks.
Located in spectacular Sawtooth Range of the High Sierra,
we spend five informative days learning ins and outs of alpine
style rock climbing in this advanced technical rock climbing
course. From our base camp we will attempt two High Sierra
peaks via rock climbs in the 5.6 to 5.8 range.
Alpine rock climbing involves a set of skills not needed
at the local crags and sport climbs. Rock Climbing instruction
includes:
- Alpine Rock Anchors & Protection Placement
- Multi-pitch Rock Climbing
- Alpine Rock Navigation & Route Finding
- Moving Fast & Being Efficient
This course is led by CAG owners and AMGA certified mountain
guides Dave Miller and Scott Brown who will be happy to share
their many years of experience on the technical rock climbs
of the Sierra Nevada mountains with you.
The Sawtooth range provides the most spectacular alpine climbing
terrain in California. Only 5 hours from the S.F. Bay Area
and one hour from the resort town of Mammoth Lakes.
