"Excellent! The guides were genuine and very knowledgeable. I learnt so much to equip me for future trips and was able to ask many crucial questions about mountaineering. They were also very adaptable to the group and tailored our experience to desired outcomes and the weather. Worth the cost to learn the skills properly. Also the ice climbing was one of the best things I've ever done."

The Advanced Mountaineering Course is the ideal training programme for climbers with previous experience who wish to improve and advance their skills in modern alpinism. This course is the most advanced course of its type in Australia!

Our instructors will meet you at Jindabyne and from here we will depart for our high mountain basecamp. Over the next five days your instructors will teach you advanced techniques and select quality alpine routes to test and improve your alpine climbing skills. Many talk in awe of the fabled Blue Lake “Water Ice” - we won’t just be talking about it, we’ll be climbing lots of it (weather permitting). Through extensive experience our instructors know where and when to find the best ice conditions and they will ensure that you get to climb it to the fullest!
