Mountaineering
IWLS mountaineering expeditions explore the world’s most remote and jagged mountain ranges! You will be able to sharpen your skills in mountain ranges around the world, from the high altitude peaks of South America to the world’s largest non-polar ice cap in coastal Alaska.
Imagine ice climbing on deep-blue glacial ice, teaching fellow participants about ascending a fixed line or scrambling up an exposed ridge with the sky beneath your feet! When you participate in our mountaineering courses, you will visit the most incredible mountain ranges on the planet while learning how to be a competent leader in varied mountain terrain.
IWLS instructors are experts in technical instruction and leadership training. Learn how to route find up a crevasse-strewn glacier, assess avalanche danger or lead people up an alpine rock ridge. Simulate how to rescue fallen leaders on high angle terrain, lead a group in a white out, and how to assist during a helicopter rescue.
Mountaineering courses can be combined with any of our other leadership and guide training courses for a semester of university credit!
