AMS 12 day Mountaineering course, 4/22/13-5/3/13

AMS guide Alex Stroud called in from the Pika Glacier this afternoon.

They have been having a great time in there.  They got to do a bit of skiing today and he said the conditions were perfect.

Blue skies and calm at the moment.  They are planning on moving camp down glacier tomorrow to be in closer vicinity to some of the best easily accessible rock climbing in the Alaska Range.

The Pika Glacier (AKA Little Switzerland) is an AMS favorite.  Our April 6 day Mountaineering Course is planning on heading in there tomorrow as well.
