Itinerary:

This long weekend is the second part of the RMS Alpine Skills development. The weekend is designed to take your skills and rock climbing experience to the next level if you have a few days of outside climbing experience. It is a great way to meet like minded people and be taught the highest standards in safety, efficiency at an advanced level by ACMG / IFMGA Mountain Guides.


The first two days are focused on advanced climbing movement and progressing your climbing grade and confidence, we will review anchor building using gear and bolts and placing gear while mock leading climbing routes. The third day we will climb one of the many classic multi pitch routes in the Bow Valley which is 2:1 guest to guide ratio.


Skills that will be taught:

  • Anchors - using bolts and traditional gear
  • Lead climbing - on bolts and traditional gear
  • Multi-pitch climbing skills
  • Moving on Alpine rock terrain

The price is $720 including GST but not including food or accommodation.

There are two trip leader places available at a discounted price of $450. These two spaces are for eligible trip leaders, who have led three RMS trips in the last 12 months. Trip leaders must eligible at the time of booking to receive the discount.
