Go climb a mountain—in Peru! That's what sixteen high
school girls will attempt as they scale Nevado Chinchey,
a 20,413-foot (6,222-meter) peak located in the Andes.
This expedition, endorsed by Bancroft Arnesen
Explore, will take you on a rugged climbing
adventure led by experienced faculty and mountaineers.
Students will travel across grasslands and rock slabs,
join rope teams across a glacier, and employ technical
climbing techniques to ascend the steep summit ridge.

Initiative (INTI) 2001 Expedition and participate in the
online education program. |

requirements. |
