I am signed up for an Intermediate Mountaineering class at Lake Tahoe Community College in South Lake Tahoe, but we need more students for the class to go.

The class invovles a 4 day 3 night peak bagging field trip through Desolation. Last year we summitted Pyramid, Dicks, Eagle Lake Buttress, as well as several unnamed peaks. We covered a lot of terrain both on and off trail in between. We pulled out a rope twice but the spirit is fast and light.

The instructor is Rick Newberry, Kwood patrolman, BCA rep, and ski/mountain guide (I am not sure of his certifications).

The dates this year are evening sessions on 7/23 and 8/6 as well as the field trip 7/30-8/2.

The official name is WLD 117B Intermediate Mountaineering.
