Mountaineering school





This course is a LOT of fun. The instructor, Conrad Janzen, was excellent and I would highly recommend both Yamnuska and Conrad. We started learning glacier travel and safety. After a couple days we moved from the Bow hut to the Peyto hut where we practised crevasse rescue. We also watched a grizzly bear cross the glacier. Returning from the Peyto hut we went up Mt. Rhonda were we looked down to the Icefield Parkway which connects Jasper and Banff.
