First Summits Program, 2017 - Photo Gallery
Our First Summits camp this year was led by Peter Amann, a long-time Alpine Club of Canada trip leader and guide who has also been chosen as the Patron for this year's Mountain Guides Ball.
The group navigated our way over crevasses and onto ice slopes with some low-technical scrambling on our way to the summits of Mount Olive, Mount Gordon (for Canada Day!) and The Onion. It was a fantastic group and we lucked out with great weather save for one small shower on the way across the glacier on day three.
The First Summits camp, based out of Bow Hut, caters to members with minimal summer mountaineering experience and offers those looking for a refresher a chance to get back to the basics. The camp has a flexible and varied schedule allowing participants to work on skills close to the hut and to climb many different peaks. Days are planned to allow maximum learning and exploration.
