Interested in joining AMS for a climb on Denali's West Buttress?
The success of a Denali expedition relies on factors in our control and out of our control. The weather is out of our control. Being physically fit and having the necessary prior experience is in our control. A strong team member is able to a carry a 60 lb. backpack, has winter camped for extended periods, is confident in the use of crampons and an ice axe, and has been on climbs requiring roped glacier travel. A healthy sense of humor and compassion for your fellow climber are also favorable attributes.
To Apply, please complete and return an AMS Application Form and an Expedition Questionnaire: they both can be found on our website: www.climbalaska.org.
We will get back in touch with you to discuss the details of the climb and the nature of high altitude climbing in Alaska.
Cheers,
Caitlin

WFR Recerts Nearly Full!
It was cold in Talkeetna this morning, more normal temps for this time of year.
It is 10 above at 6pm and was 10 below overnight. Maybe the trails will firm up for the Oosik Ski Race after all!
Our first programs of the year have already begun! The Wilderness First Responder Course is full steam ahead. They were learning how to improvise rescue litters today.
Meanwhile, Super Guide Joey McBrayer is packing up for a Custom Mountaineering Course on Saturday at the Matanuska Glacier. Rumor has it there is fresh snow to play on!
ONE MORE SPOT on the Wilderness First Responder Recertification March 27-29!
Click here to sign up!
There are a FEW SPOTS LEFT on our Denali, West Buttress Expeditions!
April 27-May 17: 2 spaces available
