AMGA SPI Courses and Skills Clinics

Basic Rope Ascension - a foundation for most rescue skills. If you can do this with friction hitches you can do it easily with ascenders

Have you ever wondered what you would do if your climbing partner became injured or stuck on climb? Do you have the skills to initiate a safe rescue and get back to the ground? Here at Alpine Endeavors we’ve been teaching a lot of skills clinics and AMGA Single Pitch Instructor Courses recently. These courses and clinics are a great way to brush up on your skills or learn new skills that will make you a safer, more knowledgeable climber.

Some of the courses we offer on a regular basis are:

• AMGA Single Pitch Instructor (SPI) Course and Assessment
• Crevasse Rescue
• Toprope Anchors
• Rock/Ice Self-Rescue
• Basic Rock Climbing
• Intermediate Rock Climbing
• Learn To Lead
• Aid Climbing

Many of these courses or clinics are offered at a discounted rate ($125-$160/person/day) provided the course has more than one participant.
