There are two options when it comes to Advanced ACS
- Glaciated Track: If you are interested in taking these skills on peaks which contain glaciers like the Pacific Northwest this is the track for you. Grad Climb Examples: Ptarmigan Ridge, Torment-Forbidden Traverse
- Non-Glaciated Track: If you are not interested in the glaciated track and are more interested in using your skills in Colorado or the Tetons, this is the track for you. Grad Climb Examples: Grand Teton
Grad Climbs will be worked out with your instructor to determine location and timing but will likely take place in the late June/early July timeframe.
