Come climb Mt. Dana and North Peak via their respective couloirs. This is a semi-technical ascent of two Tioga Pass peaks and a good introduction to technical alpine climbing. Tioga Pass lies at nearly 10,000 feet and climbing both of these mountains will require a moderate degree of fitness and prior experience with multi-pitch climbing and basic snow and ice travel. Loaner gear is available to paid members. Maximum two climbers, recommended for those with SNOW 4, ICE 1, RCK 2 or equivalent experience.
