Have your sights set on a big trip this year? Denali, Everest, Elbrus, and Rainier seasons are right around the corner. At IMG, we offer the best possible training to set you up for success – The Denali Prep Seminar.
Denali Prep Seminar Details and Itinerary
Each year, we take climbers onto Rainier for 6 days in the middle of winter and let the mountain do its job. This program exposes climbers to the weather and work that it takes to make it on a big climb. As weather systems roll through and the team work their way higher on the mountain, the terrain on Rainier provides the best training to learn the critical skills that turn big dreams into realities. We focus on skills such as bombproof camp set up and maintenance, navigation training, sled hauling, anchor building, crevasse rescue training, fixed line work, avalanche science/rescue, and a whole lot more. If your sights are on Denali, or any other big peak, this is a “must have” experience.
Denali not in your plans this year? No worries! This program is an excellent fit for anyone interested in learning more about winter mountaineering and all the tools that go into it. Build your skill set with the best guides in the world, then go for your dream mountain!
