Mountain Mentor Program

One-On-One Mentorships.

Who is this program for?
The mentorship program is for individuals (and partners) who are financially and time committed to improving their recreational competency in mountaineering, rock, ice climbing and/or skiing. If you are looking for the freedom to control the pace of learning, difficulty of the guided climbing experience, motivated to push your ability, and have a growing passion for climbing, then this program is for you!

What?
A comprehensive program that covers the essential skills for safe and competent climbing and decision-making. Through baseline testing we are able to establish a customized program to meet your ability level, hone your strengths, improve your weaknesses and plan for future, test-piece objectives. All participants are urged to enroll in a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course to complete their mentorship.

When?
The mentorship is a serious commitment. A minimum of 30 days – split classroom, online courses and field sessions – are required to cover the entire curriculum. In addition, we aim for 3 test-piece, big mountain, objectives that are student driven and guide supervised. These climbs are strategically scheduled to help drive the curriculum and keep the program focused. To cover the complete curriculum across multiple focus areas (Alpine, Rock, Ice, Skiing, Avalanche Education), the program spans at least one calendar year or four seasons.

Why?
The goal is to become a self-sufficient climber with an advanced level of competency and decision-making. Our professional guides work hand-in-hand with you to hone your craft and help you grow while meeting the highest industry standards.

A Special Note
Most of the understanding and techniques addressed during this program require extensive practice before you can expect to be proficient. No program, this one included, can provide all that experience.

To establish and maintain proficiency in the knowledge and techniques covered in this program, you will have to practice extensively and regularly on your own during and after leaving the program. Additionally, climbing skills and techniques continue to evolve as new research becomes available. To remain current, you will need to seek out opportunities for continued education.

No program can fully guarantee your safety, either during the program or after you leave. During the program, the instructors will manage risk and involve you in discussions about what is appropriate and what is not. They will inform you of any unusual or exceptional hazards or risks involved in carrying out lessons and exercises. Whether you will be “safer” after the course or not depends entirely on how you apply your new skills and knowledge when in the mountains.
