I spent 15 years as an Exum Guide and $30,000 to gain IFMGA certification, and today, I am packaging the essential Alpine Rope Skills I have learned into a two-hour action-packed workshop.

If you are a seasoned rock climber who has ventured into the alpine, you know that rock climbing techniques don’t work in the mountains. They are too cumbersome, slow, and heavy to be efficient in the alpine. To climb mountains, you need elegant, streamlined systems that allow you to cover maximum ground with minimal equipment and time.

This is the premise of the Rope Systems for Alpine Rock Climbing: to help you build a bombproof toolkit of technical skills to move fast and light in the high peaks. Whether you are planning for the Grand Traverse, the Torment Forbidden, or any other alpine climb, this workshop will equip you with the skills to increase your margins, while moving swiftly through the mountains.
