After a few days of rainy weather and classes in town, the 12-day course led by Simon Frez-Albrecht, Hannah Beutler, and Claire Bicknell is heading out toward the Matanuska Glacier to fly into the Scandinavian Peaks.
This area is about 20 miles up the Matanuska Glacier in the Chugach Mountains. It's an excellent area to learn glacier travel skills, ice climb, and it has spectacular views.   ..read more

Teens were smiling after all those miles! This custom backpacking team started out with lots of sunshine and then... learned all about camping and backpacking in the rain. They stayed in town for a well-deserved 2-day break from the rain here in Talkeetna, before heading out again today for their final 5 days. They enjoyed the chance to dry out their gear, use a grill to cook lunch, and acquire some extra layers and waterproof gloves! This is such a great group. The skills they are developing are epic!

Some students and instructors even did a peak ascent south of Caribou Pass! They are having a blast learning and being challenged. We can't wait for the next update ..read more
