Mountaineering Training
Updated:The Mountaineering Group runs introductory and advanced courses each year in rock climbing and glacier travel.
These courses are taught by the volunteer leader/instructors of AMC-NH Chapter Mountaineering Group. To ensure your safety, the Group has developed a set of requirements and criteria for each climber to pass before being designated a leader or instructor.
The Mountaineering Courses are divided into several groups:
Glacier Travel
Introduction to Glacier Travel Workshop is a one day course that covers the glacial environment, travel using ropes, and self-arrest skills.
Glacier Travel & Crevasse Rescue School is a two-day course that covers the use of crampons, roping in, use of the ice ax, roped travel, knots, rope management, and crevasse rescue.
