Hello! This Woman’s Group has one more training block left and I’m trying to decide whether to continue with the Woman’s Group, or if I should transition to the Mountaineering Group.

I have a week-long training on Mt. Baker with Alpine Ascents the first week of July to learn basic mountaineering skills. So I’m not sure if it would be better to transition to the Mountaineering Group in the next training cycle to get more specific training and information, or if continuing with the Woman’s Group will still get me what I need for my trip. In this group, I’m currently on the intermediate training and have been able to follow it.

Another consideration is that I was hoping that this training group would help introduce me to people I could climb with in the Los Angeles area, but the composition of this group looks to be completely outside of LA. Do you know whether the mountaineering group has any members in the Los Angeles area?

Thank you for your advice and thoughts on this! This has been a wonderful and valuable experience.
