This demanding expedition travels into British Columbia’s remote Coast Mountains, including the Waddington Range, Whitemantle Range and Homathko Icefield, for a month-long experience in rock, snow and ice mountaineering skills.
Here you’ll get the biggest and most remote glaciers NOLS travels on south of Alaska and more time to practice actual mountaineering since these courses either travel in or out of the field via plane.
In this very remote area of huge glacial plateaus, long granite spires, deep fjords and snow-capped peaks along the rugged coast of British Columbia, you’ll learn what it takes to get a team ready to summit. Whether you’re the first one to the top or not, you’ll get to practice your newfound skills on at least one peak attempt.
For tons of technical glacier mountaineering and a place few people have ever been, this expedition is a true adventure that will provide both.
