AMGA Alpine Snow and Glacier Module

American Alpine Institute ETPL
The Alpine Snow Glacier Module (ASGM) is designed to equip competent snow and glacier climbers with the essential skills needed to guide on glaciated and snow-covered alpine terrain. This module focuses on the techniques necessary for guiding clients in these environments, with minimal emphasis on scrambling or 5th-class rock. As part of the Alpine Guide discipline, the ASGM and the Alpine Rock Module (ARM) can be completed to achieve the Apprentice Alpine Guide credential.
