This course is a unique blend of our most popular courses —an itinerary that lives up to its name. A month long journey focusing on group travel and wilderness skills development, the first phase includes bouldering, top-rope and multi-pitch climbing in a variety of settings where students will learn and develop proper climbing techniques. Phase 2 is a week of water on the South Fork of the American River. Participants will gain the necessary skills to negotiate and navigate class II-III Whitewater. Phase 3 is a backpacking expedition through the sub-alpine and alpine environments of the wild and scenic northern boundary of Yosemite. Weather permitting the group will attempt a non-technical peak ascent of 12,270' Matterhorn Peak. The course includes basic first aid, mountain travel, weather, hazard and risk assessment, navigation, and Leave No Trace camp craft. Our journey culminates with a 4-day student led finale from the high country of Tuolumne Meadows to the valley floor of Yosemite.
