For the Kosciuszko Winter Ascent you will travel with highly experienced ASM guides to our alpine basecamp where we will make ready for our ascent. Winter survival, snow camping and safety skills training will be undertaken as part of our preparation. The summit climb will be made on snowshoes and the ASM Instructors will teach you how to use these safely and efficiently with some short acclimatisation walks.
An early alpine start will be required to optimise our chances of success, the round trip to the summit and back will require approximately 16kms of alpine trekking.
