Just got out of the NOLS AKIC (Alaska Instructor Course) a few days ago. The course went well; however, I will not work for NOLS until next year because my calendar is very booked for this year. Currently I am at Pacific Northwest working for YMCA Seattle for three summer courses. I will have some in-town days between courses and I’ll try to throw some articles online because I have had thoughts storming in my brain for a while and I cannot wait to share them with you all.
Take care my friends and enjoy your cool summer!
Congrats on passing the IC, Ting Ting! I’m thinking about doing it myself! Is it as grueling as it sounds?

Robby,
nice to hear from you. I will say our Denali trip is certainly more exhausting both physically and mentally. However, IC is quite different than other NOLS courses. I had complex feelings toward IC and I am thinking to blog it some time soon once I finish my summer job here in Seattle.
Also I got a postcard from our Denali friends (Geno, Geoff, and Mark) when I finished the IC, I was so touched!!
