Now,  finally the question... are there places in sunny So Cal where one can 
get  professional mountaineering field instruction?   I know quite enough  
about desert survival, but snow, ice, and high altitude??? 
It might as  well be the moon to me.

Hi Greg-
 
It would seem to me that to get instruction that truly offers you  hands-on 
learning, you'd need to travel north to get this  experience.  Unless someone 
has an indoor facility with a mountain covered  in man-made snow & ice!  =;-)  
Would probably be worth the  trip...
