The last and final segment of this course takes place in the heart of the North Cascades where we undertake a series of ascents, putting the students in the leader role with guides providing feedback and direction along the way.

More often than not, climbers and guides opt for the Boston Basin area in the North Cascades where we typically make ascents of Sahale Peak, Forbidden Peak, Sharkfin Tower, and possibly others.
