Intro Sierra Climber 1 Day
Donner Peak, Northwest Ridge Class 3-4
This is a great one-day introduction to the techniques useful for the class 3-4 challenges encountered on many classic Sierra summit attempts. We’ll cover off-trail talus travel and scrambling techniques until the consequences and exposure increase enough to warrant the use of the belay rope to safeguard moves.
We will also cover simple rappelling techniques often useful to descend a short, steep section or a summit block. If late-season snow patches are encountered, we will practice techniques to increase safety traveling across them as well. This is a skills training day to help you with many useful techniques to better prepare you for future summit ascents. No previous technical climbing experience is required.
