Mountaineers Basic Alpine Climbing Course

Jenny and I joined the Mountaineers Basic Alpine Climbing Course this year. It’s really a rush and a lot of fun to learn so many new things: knots, belaying, climbing, rappelling, crevasse rescue.

Here’s a picture of my SIG (small instructional group) practicing multi-pitch climbing, belaying, and rappelling:

And here I (yellow pants) just climbed up and am tying into the anchor at the top:

Two pictures of me rappelling down (orange jacket first picture, yellow pants second picture):

Jenny is always so calm and collected, and super strong:
