What im thinking is that a formal, guided course would be a great way to get you the skills to climb some grade 3 (and beyond!) summits like Aspiring, Cook, Malte Brun, Elie de Beuamont, Minarets etc. And if you're into it, some pitched grade 5ish stuff next winter with me!</p><p>The club has traditionally pushed out one or two first class Alpinists a year and if you want to be the next Terra then this is for you!</p><p>Have a look here for more details </p><p>http://alpineclub.org.nz/news/2010/gottlieb-erica-alpine-scholarship-for-aspiring-women-alpinists&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And if you're a dude! then go find a mentor, get fit tramping, hang out at wyn erwin hut, go on Dave's Mt Aspiring trip and did i mention get fit tramping? How about Ruapehu &amp; Ngarahoe in a day from Turoa- Mangatepopo hut? &nbsp;</p>
