Jason_Martin Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 The American Alpine Institute is running an American Mountain Guides Association Single Pitch Instructor Exam this weekend in Leavenworth. We are currently seeking individuals who would like to play the role of student for the exam candidates on Sunday. Primarily we are interested in climbers who haven't spent a great deal of time outdoors. The exam candidates will provide a day's worth of climbing instruction to those who are interested under the supervision of an AMGA Certified Rock Guide for free. The American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) Single Pitch Instructor Course and exam is the first in the AMGA sequence of climbing instructor and guide training programs. The SPI course was designed to help capable recreational climbers transition into capable and effective climbing instructors. The course focuses on the technical skills required by an instructor as they are applied in all forms of single pitch climbing instruction. In addition to this, the course addresses the essential educational and environmental tenets required to teach climbing. Those seeking certification may go on to take a two day field examination following the course. Certified Single Pitch Instructors are expected to demonstrate the technical and educational proficiencies necessary to instruct a variety of single pitch rock climbing skills in a safe and effective manner to both groups and individuals To read more about the AMGA Single Pitch Instructor course and exam, please click on the following link: http://www.aai.cc/ProgramDetail/spi/ If you would like to participate in this guide assessment as a mock student and to obtain some free training, please call me during business hours at the American Alpine Institute at: 360-671-1505 Thanks, Jason Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason_Martin Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 Gene, We'd probably have to start at the very beginning. You know with things like, "this is a rope." Just kidding. I'd love to get out climbing with you sometime though...it's been a long time since we got together to do something in the mountains.

Chuckanut girl Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I will be going to Leavenworth Friday night and planning on camping at the 8 mile campground. I am driving from Bellingham and could take another person in my car if anyone wants to pitch in for some gas or I would be happy to pay for gas if anyone else has extra room for me and my gear. I'll be heading back to the 'ham on Sunday after 4 pm. So, please reply before 4 on Friday if you want to ride share please or call me on my cell 360.961.8100. Happy climbing this weekend to all who are going! Maria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
