The High Altitude Mountaineering Committee http://www.cmchams.org of the Colorado Mountain Club Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:52:43 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Advanced Leader Training Seminar (ALTS) http://www.cmchams.org/advanced-leader-training-seminar-alts/ http://www.cmchams.org/advanced-leader-training-seminar-alts/#comments Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:34:47 +0000 admin http://www.cmchams.org/?p=811 If you are a trip leader and have an interest in expanding your skills, this may be the class for you. The mechanics of leading fellow members on a two week trip, often to the other side of the world, are greatly different from leading an “A” hike in the Front Range foothills, or leading an easy walk along the Colorado River in Grand Junction or Grand County. In addition to the lecture, 2-3 optional get-acquainted and information-sharing hikes will be scheduled in the Spring. Pre-requisites for the course are good physical conditioning; a willingness to try leading at least one adventure travel trip, domestic or international, in the two years following the class; and approval from the Seminar directors. We are looking primarily for students who already are qualified trip leaders. We will, however, consider non-leader applicants on a case-by-case basis, based upon review of resumes provided with the course application. Course applications are available by e-mail from Steve Bonowski at climbersteveb@gmail.com.

Lecture: Saturday, March 3

Fee: $38 (excluding optional hike to international destination in the Spring); Limit: 20
