This course is for both climbers and non-climbers who want to learn the systems used in climbing which can be applied in other capacities. This course will cover:
- Rappelling and lowering heavy loads
- 3:1 hauling systems
- Advanced bear hangs
- Tyrolean traverses
- Rappelling without harnesses on low angle terrain (i.e. steep couloirs or broken cliff bands)
- Suitable anchors
- Tie-down systems, knots, hitches, etc.
Please see our Rock Climbing Equipment List for the required equipment for this trip. Technical equipment (rock climbing shoes, helmet, and harness) may be rented from MAG for the day for $10/person. This must be coordinated in advance (especially shoe sizes!)
What our clients say about us
“We had a great time climbing Gallatin Tower in the Gallatin River Valley. Our group ranged in age from 8 to 43. Our guides, Genevieve and Kyle, were able to find routes to accommodate all of us. They really did a fantastic job.”
“Had the best time climbing with Montana Alpine Guides. Sam is a fantastic guide that I would recommend to anyone visiting Montana and the surrounding areas.”
