Digging for shelter (Emily Johnston)<\/p><\/div>\n

With only six Denali Prep Seminars<\/a> available each year, the time to sign up for 2020 is now! This is the ideal program for anyone aspiring to climb Denali<\/a> or any other large, glaciated, technical peak in Alaska<\/a>. Mt. Rainier in winter is the perfect place to immerse yourself in a harsh, big mountain environment. Led by IMG’s world-renowned guides, each team progresses up the mountain using snowshoes and sleds, establishing expedition camps along the way to Camp Muir at 10,000′. The chance of summiting Mt. Rainier during the winter months is low, but when appropriate, an attempt can provide invaluable experience in avalanche hazard evaluation and route finding.<\/p>\n

Seminar Topics Include:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Expedition gear and its use
\nBasic skills with ice axe and crampons
\nExpedition camp building and maintenance
\nConstruction of snow caves and snow shelters
\nAscending and descending fixed ropes
\nBuilding snow anchors and anchor systems
\nExpedition glacier travel and route finding
\nCrevasse rescue
\nHigh altitude medicine and prevention of cold weather injuries
\nAvalanche hazard evaluation<\/p>\n

Ice axe self-arrest training on a Denali Prep Seminar (Leanne Sebren)<\/p><\/div>\n

All seminars are conducted with a 2:1 client-to-guide ratio, providing a superior level of support and safety. IMG provides breakfasts, dinners, and hot drinks for the group on the mountain. As part of the program, we provide bunk space for the night after your gear check in Ashford and a continental breakfast the next morning. We find this genuinely adds to the experience in terms of convenience, comfort, and camaraderie!<\/p>\n
