Meet your instructor at 8am at the Timberline Lodge parking lot.
In the morning, we will provide an introduction to crampon and ice axe techniques and give you plenty of opportunity to practice. As you get comfortable, we'll add in some basic knots and rope handling.
After a lunch break, we'll focus on self-arrest, ensuring we can stop ourselves in case of a fall before moving on to additional practice on steeper slopes.
We'll end the day by introducing the concept of anchors and going over what to expect on the day of your summit climb. You can expect to be back to the parking lot around 4pm.
