Course cost includes:

• Accommodation. Our base for each course will be a basic club lodge in Arthurs Pass or Fox Glacier with showers, a full kitchen, and bunks in a shared room (you’ll need your own sleeping bags and towels). We may only spend one night at the lodge if the weather is good enough for us to do a multi-day journey, or we may stay a few nights at the lodge while poor weather passes, doing day trips to cover the required skills.
• Alpine equipment. We can provide crampons, ice axes, helmets, harnesses, and avalanche rescue equipment for anyone who needs them.
• Tents and cooking equipment. We’ll provide high quality 2-3 person Hilleberg tents for use during our journey, along with stoves, pots, and cooking fuel.
• Some meals and hot drinks: We’ll provide two group breakfasts and any group dinners not covered by the shared meals provided by each participant. We’ll also provide soups, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and herbal tea for the entire course.
• You’ll need to organise your own dinner for the night before the course, your own lunches/snacks for the entire course, most of your own breakfasts, and one shared group dinner – we’ll provide more information to help with this.
• Courses will finish at 4pm in Arthurs Pass and Fox Glacier. You’ll need to arrange your own transport to return home from there. We’ll put all participants in touch with each other pre-course to help with carpooling.
