Basic mountaineering gives an introduction to climbing on moderate angle snow, and to the use of ice axe, crampons, and self belay systems. This knowledge is useful to mountain hikers who frequently cross snowfields and high passes, and are requisite to the beginning mountaineer. If you want to take a step beyond backpacking into the realm of mountaineering, this is the course for you.
Dates: April 10, 24 May 1, 15, 29 June 5, 12, 19 July 3, 17 Or by special arrangement Fee: $125

Hi,
What are the timings for the basic Mountaineering class? Ideally, we would like to do it on June 14th or June 21st and then try for the summit ourselves.
Thanks

If we've been through your basic mountaineering class but want to learn how to rope in (glacier traversing) and work with other climbers which class do you recommend?

The Glacier I is a great course to learn the skills you mention. This seminar is our most popular and is a great introduction to glacier travel and mountaineering.
We will also discuss trip planning and route finding. Altitude issues, nutrition, weather and climbing hazards. We will also answer Shasta specific questions if you plan to climb without a guide.
Can you please tell me about the equipment needed for this class. Do you guys rent equipment, and if so, what are the rates?
Also, is there still space available in the April 12th basic mountaineering class?
thnaks,
Sivan

Hello Sivan, thanks for your message. You will need clothing appropriate for the day including water resistant shell gear as we will be sliding on the snow. Also ice axe, crampons, mountain boots, and helmet. The equipment is available to rent from The Fifth Season (where we meet) or at Shasta Basecamp. The cost is approximately $25 depending on how much you need.
Hi is this route considered harder than the traditional route, if so how much harder is it? Also, do you guys have to bring your own technical equipment (ice axes, crampons etc..) or do you supply it? thanks
This is a one day class instructing in the fundamentals of mountaineering. This is not a guided summit climb. We will use a slope near the trailhead at Bunny flat or the Old Ski Bowl to conduct the class. Climbers are responsible to provide their own equipment which is available to rent.
