Intro Mountaineering Course
Structured courses from guides like Rainier Mountaineering Inc, AAI, and Alpine Ascents teach rope systems, crampon technique, ice axe arrest, and crevasse rescue over 3-5 days. This is the skills gateway to glacier peaks — without these fundamentals, mountains like Rainier, Elbrus, and Aconcagua remain off limits.
