Intermediate Advanced Winter Mountaineering
Guides Packet
Overview
Our intermediate/Advanced Winter Mountaineering Course is designed for those guests who have previous climbing experience and are in excellent physical shape. It gives more in depth instruction into mountaineering in a winter environment beginning with a day of ice instruction and then 4 days in the high country of the Matterhorn Peak area. The summit chosen is a step up from the intro course and should involve climbing 4th and just a little low 5th class on rock with crampons if possible.

Special Considerations
Ice Climbing Day
It’s a one day beginner ice climbing instructional day. Best to use June Lake venues
Parking at trailhead at Mono Village
Parking is on the lake side of the road about 100 yards from the entrance to Mono Village (Do not park in the turn around in front of their gate). There are no parking signs here. However, they are for the summer time and it is standard to park in any wide spots in the road here. The plows will usually leave some wider sections for parking, but sometimes you and your group may have to shovel spots out. Do not park fully in the road.
Pack out all solid human waste
The Forest service does not require users to pack out human waste. However, as a company IAG has decided to use wag bags and pack out all of our waste. This is due to the impact we have as a company in this fragile area.
