Alpine courses?	17-Feb-2006 At 9:46:02 AM	drdeviousii

did a course with Alpine Guides a few years ago. 10 days, ~$2k. highly recommended. do the course, then hang round the village (NZAC's Unwin Hut is good) & go climbing for a few weeks at least to reinforce what you learnt on the course. Another option is to get a few friends together & go for private guiding. Cost will be similar, shorter time in the mountains, but guide/client ratio will be higher. Some people teach themselves about alpine climbing, but it is really bloody scary - most of the danger you can't control (ie objective danger) so you need to learn how to read the conditions & avoid the *most* dangerous bits. go nuts - alpine climbing rocks!
