The intrepid members of the Colby College Outing Club from Waterville, Maine participated in a two day mountain skills course.

Club members learned mountaineering skills like self arrest and crampon techniques then spent the rest of the day swinging tools into frozen waterfalls. Tired but smiling, the Outing Club members went back to their hostel to prepare the second day's mountain adventure.

On day two the club members split up into groups to tackle some of the exciting gully climbs in the Whites. Fun and adventure was had by all on Willey's Slide, Cauliflower Gully, Hitchcock Gully and in other areas. The smiles said it all.Climbing with a group from a college, office, or any other organization is a great way to share an incredible adventure with friends. Have a group? give us a call!
