| Itinerary: |
| Another course has been added due to popular demand.The wait list from the previous day will be given registration priority.
Course Content: A one-day course aimed at consolidating and refining steep ice movement skills so both leaders and followers can climb long vertical pitches of sustained ice efficiently, and more important, safely. Topics to be addressed include leashless technique, rest stances, strategies for not getting pumped, hooking, delicate movement (required for fragile features) and skinny pillars.
Prerequisite: Participants should have some ice climbing experience, whether it be winter waterfall ice or summer alpine ice. The content is suitable for both novice ice climbers who want to move into steeper terrain as well as more experienced ice climbers who still find they get pumped on WI5. Participants must be able to offer a safe top-rope belay.
Date(s): Nov 29
Costs: $100 per person (1:6 ratio) plus 5% GST (total = $105)
