Mountaineering club for souther California???
Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2012 8:55 am
I am looking for a mountaineering course for southern California that is like the Mazama or the Mountaineers. But I have had no luck finding one. I have found a bunch of guides services but not clubs. Does any one know of any good ones?
On another note I was looking to take some classes to do a couple of things.
-Learn all of the proper techniques
-Crevasse and Avalanche basics
-these courses eventually leading to becoming a certified guide/mountaineer.
I was hoping you guys could point out who is the best for these classes and which ones would assist in a qualification.
I have done St Helen's multiple times and other local peaks up to 11,000 feet that are class 1-2. Just some basic scrambling one day trips. I have backpacked a lot but I have had the mountaineering bug for a while and I am looking to step up my game. Even though freedom of the hills has a lot of information I think it is time to learn some things from trained qualified individuals. Thank you for your time.
