Five epic days up at Plateau Hut for our Specialized Alpine Climbing Course — sunrises that stopped us in our tracks, a couple of stormy days to keep things real, and a whole lot of learning in between.

From glacial rope work and pre-emptive decision making to crampon/ice axe skills, moving together and pitched climbing, Sophia and Max spent plenty of time on the sharp end. We even squeezed in summits of both Glacier Dome and ANZAC Peaks.

When the weather didn’t play ball, the hut turned into a classroom with kitchen-table crevasse rescue sessions with a super fun, sociable crew.

To wrap things up, we headed to Red Arête at Sebastopol Bluffs for a day on warm rock.

What a week! 🌄🧗‍♂️❄️
