[pct-l] Mountaineering Classes

[kdpo at gottawalk.com (Ken Powers)]

I didn't notice any replies to this question so I'll tell you that we used
Sierra Wilderness (I think that was the name) and had some ice axe training
at Mt Shasta. We haven't had to use self arrest techniques yet, but we felt
comfortable after taking the class.
