Alpine Mountaineer-Tech Leadership IV Ptarmigan Traverse

American Alpine Institute ETPL
The final portion of the AMTL program offers participants the opportunity to develop their skills in one of three technical environments. The first option is a Winter Ski Mountaineering Program in the North Cascades of Washington State, the second is a program to develop more sophisticated technical skills on rock, snow and ice on the Ptarmigan Traverse in the North Cascades and the third is to the Bravo Glacier on Canada's Mount Waddington. Those who wish to use VA education benefits are eligible can elect to use them for the ski program and the Ptarmigan Traverse in Washington State. Students who complete all four parts of the AMTL series will receive a certificate of Alpine Mountaineering Expedition Leadership. Students may also elect to take a second version of Part III as a substitution for these Part IV options to receive this certificate.
