The seminars climb in expedition style with the team working their way up from Paradise to Camp Muir, training along the way. Once at Camp Muir, the team will assess weather and conditions and may scout a route to the summit. Should an attempt be possible, there will be hands-on training in route finding, avalanche hazard evaluation, cold weather survival, and glacier travel. The chance of summiting Mt. Rainier in early season is not high, but the training opportunities are limitless!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Space is available on the following dates<\/strong>:<br \/>\nFebruary 8-14, 2020<br \/>\nFebruary 22-28, 2020<\/p>\n<p><strong>Topics include:<\/strong><br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Basic skills with ice axe and crampons<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Sled rigging and use<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Expedition camp building and maintenance<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Construction of snow caves and snow shelters<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Ascending and descending fixed ropes<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Building snow anchors and anchor systems<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Expedition glacier travel, route finding, and avalanche hazard evaluation<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Crevasse rescue practice<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Lectures on high altitude medicine<\/p>\n<p>Email: <a href=\"http:\/\/office@mountainguides.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">office@mountainguides.com<\/a> or call 360-569-2609 for details!<\/p>\n<p>Heather Garland<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 22, 2019 Paradise at 5,400&#8242; on Mt.
