Naval Academy Leadership Course

US Naval Academy Program

Real Life Skills

As a Naval Officer in charge of winning wars, deterring aggression, and maintaining the freedom of the seas, it’s imperative that you have a wide variety of skills to inspire others. Setting common goals, building effective teams, determining a route, and overcoming adversity are all essential components of both successful military operations and mountaineering expeditions.

In addition to the technical and decision-making skills necessary for the group to safely meet an objective, the best mountain guides are also great teachers, motivators, and community-builders. They are assertive, creative, compassionate, and conscientious.

They bring to Aerial Boundaries their expertise from over twenty years each working as guides for organizations such as the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), Alpine Ascents International, Exum Mountain Guides, Valdez Heli Ski Guides, and the American Avalanche Institute.
