Since Mother Nature is so unpredictable at such an altitude, we take off early in the morning to avoid possible afternoon storms. You will see plants, animals and scenery that only exist above 13,000 feet and will experience the power and sense of accomplishment when we get to the top. You will enjoy a catered lunch and quality time with our Instructors, fellow students and the Professional Guides . You guessed it, an all out battle between the different cabins, North vs. South, Kids vs. Parents, Students vs. Staff. Organized to simulate a hockey game.
Teams compete with limited paint pellets to capture the opposing team s flag.
You will have offensive and defensive players, will have to work as a team and communicate. Take quality shots, because when you are out of paint pellets, you re in big trouble. These are all ideal locations to teach crack and face climbing techniques on solid, clean granite rock. We will cover Belay safety, climbing techniques and anchor set up as well as route grading, terrain considerations and gear discussions unique to technical climbing. Each evening, we will soak in one of the area s natural Hot Springs.
