The more time you spend in the vertical, the more you understand what can go wrong. Maybe you’ve dropped your belay device at the top of pitch three, rappelled past the next station, had to cut a stuck rope or even deal with an injury on route. The Women’s Affinity Rock-Rescue Course aims to empower women (queer, trans and cis-gendered) to take the lead by developing critical problem-solving skills in multi-pitch terrain.

Tired of learning through a screen? Our 3-day lodge based AIARE 1 in the Baker Backcountry utilizes the historic Mountaineer’s Lodge as a base of operations. Being based at the lodge means quick access to terrain and less time commuting to and from the ski hill. The course keeps a healthy balance of in-person classroom components and field time.
