The Patagonian Andes are the site of your mountaineering expedition. Among the peaks, expansive rivers, and thick coastal rain forests, you’ll learn the techniques of alpine big-glacier mountaineering and camping in challenging weather.
You’ll develop all the skills necessary to carry out remote expeditions and explore rugged and little-traveled mountain terrain. Teamwork, motivation, leadership, and communication are critical components of the course, as are meticulous glacier travel, hazard evaluation, and technical ropework.
This course will offer you the challenges of unknown terrain and fierce Andean weather, preparing you for travel in any mountain area in the world.
