The Mountain Phase: Lower Mountaineering

The "Mountain Phase" of Ranger School starts with three days of basic mountaineering. Students learn about knots, belays, anchor points, rope management, and the basic fundamentals of climbing and rappelling. Trainees will then put this knowledge to good use during the two-day Yonah Mountain exercise.
