This three day overnight program will take place on the South Side of Mt. Hood. The course is designed to give women the essential skills of mountaineering in a comfortable setting.

At our camp we will teach the basics of snow camping, footwork with crampons, handling ice axes, and traveling on a glacier. We will even dive into anchor building and steeper snow climbing skills. The trip will culminate with an attempt to summit Mt. Hood via the Old Chute route. This is a program not to be missed, no experience required.
