Backcountry Progression
Sessions for
Locals + Seasonaires:

You and up to 4 mates pick three days throughout the season to train towards your group’s objectives. You’ll have one of K7’s guides from sunrise to sunset to workshop the morning meeting, weather hazard assessment, route planning and gear.

A wise investment for those just starting out or unfamiliar with the Australian Alpine Terrain.
