Mountaineering Courses. 2-Nov-2008 At 12:31:43 PM Rock Weasel
Message
Was just wondering if anyone could recommend a good mountaineering course to get started with...I have a solid foundation in trad climbing (anchors, rescue, pulley systems, ascending, etc...) but have hardly set foot on snow. I'm looking at a course that will give me the skills I need to have a crack at just about anything...from glacier travel to ice climbing.

Initial options include:

- Alpine Guides (NZ) - Technical Mountaineering Course & Advanced Alpine Skills Course
- Patagonia Mountain School (45 day course)
- Colorado Mountain School

Any other suggestions are more than welcome, particularly from those with experience with these or other courses...thanks in advance.
