Women’s Climbing Course

Here’s an email I received about a climbing course put together for women only. (I gotta put on my skirt to go register.) Their website is here. Johnny Mac used one of their founders – Eric Simonson – as a guide when he climbed McKinley.

My name is Deb Leyh, and I am a guide for Sierra Mountaineering International (as well as IMG).  I have put together a Women's Climbing Program, which has 4 different alpine climbing events.  Would you consider posting these on your website?  Below please find the program information.  If you have any questions, please contact me at dleyh-at-hotmail.com or 619-607-2667.  In advance, many thanks.  Cheers, Deb
