My AMGA rock guide course was an exceptional experience for me. I am incredibly grateful to First Ascent and AMGA for providing a scholarship. Being awarded a scholarship was absolutely the final push I needed to join the program.
Before too much time passes, I want to wrap up sharing about my 2020 Sea Ice work in Antarctica. In my last post about Antarctica, I introduced the idea of the sea ice and outlined a few highlights of early season sea ice work. In this post I’d like to talk more about late season sea ice work and some of the science that takes place on the sea ice.
This was an amazing girls weekend with two good friends in July. We headed in for a couple of nights at Hilton Lakes out of Rock Creek (Sierra NV). We had our eyes on Mt. Huntington with an option to add Mt. Stanford. There was limited details on the route except what was listed above and a vague description of a few access options (mostly from pioneer basin on the west). Ultimately it ended up being a bit of a bigger day than we had anticipated but also more awesome than expected.
I got asked by a guide service I work with to evaluate their first aid kits. This is a great topic and I wanted to share some thoughts on packing your own.
