Comments from Students
The following comments were collected from successful graduates of Wilderness Trekking III.
"Very well balanced course and an excellent value."
"Very well run course. I thoroughly enjoyed it."
"It was a great pleasure and an honor to participate in this course ... kudos ... would highly recommend this to others."
"Too many boundaries were stretched at once: climate, altitude, untested ultralight gear, navigation challenges...in several cases a fall would have caused serious injury and/or immersion in a half-frozen alpine lake..."
