Details for "Ecuador Mountaineering; Leadership & Guide Training Course"
Natural wonders abound within the small country of Ecuador. Between the remarkable Galapagos Islands and wilderness of the Amazon rainforest, exists the high Andean plateau. The avenue of volcanoes, hosting numerous mountains above 15,000 feet is a backbone of the region, geographically and culturally. The high, glacier strewn volcanoes, offer a perfect setting to learn high altitude mountaineering skills.
Imagine cresting a crevassed ridge to witness the beginning of the equatorial sunrise, assessing the groups’ acclimation trends using a pulse oximeter, or bartering in Spanish for local produce. Picture yourself attempting five summits over 17,000 feet amidst the rich Ecuadorian culture of the high Andes.
This comprehensive mountaineering course is the perfect setting to achieve your goals whether you are looking to become a professional guide, hone your technical abilities for personal adventures, or expand your leadership skills. It focuses on teaching students to be safe, efficient, knowledgeable and confident outdoor leaders in a high altitude glaciated mountain environment.
