There’s nothing quite like taking the skills you’ve been learning and putting them into practice on a proper mountain.

Our Intensive Mountaineering Skills Course was topped off with an alpine start and an ascent of Turner Peak. Early alarms, frozen snow and a close eye on the weather – all part of the alpine experience! 🌄

Set in one of the most spectacular corners of the Southern Alps, right beside Aoraki / Mount Cook, it’s an unforgettable place to consolidate new skills, build confidence and experience what mountaineering is all about.

Definitely one of the highlights of the course!
