PCIA Climbing Certification

Acadia Mountain Guides was in Cody, WY last week offering the Bottom/Top Managed Climbing instructor and Single Pitch Instructor certification courses for NWC Outdoor Ed students.  The course took place over a 5 day period teaching students instructor skills.  These skills included hard skills for anchor building, instructional and teaching strategies, environmental awareness, rescue scenarios and more.  The course concluded with a one day exam in which 2 of the students passed the certification, 3 others had a few skills to work on and will take the exam at a later date.

Thanks goes out to PCIA and Acadia Mountain Guides for offering this opportunity to our students, and we look forward to more certifications again in the future.
