Talkeetna Town Map »
AMS opened the Mountain Shop in Talkeetna originally to support its programs, but it is also filling a need in Talkeetna to have a gear shop. Having adequate or better gear is paramount to success on remote, self-sufficient expeditions. AMS needs it and so does everyone else going into the backcountry from Talkeetna. You could show up in sandals and leave for Denali set up nicely, including group gear like tent, stove, sled, and shovel. The Mountain Shop keeps its prices the same as everyone else and offers discounts to AMS participants, the military, and local area residents.
Currently for sale via phone/mail/email from the AMS office and the Mountain Shop:
"Glacier Mountaineering, An Illustrated Guide to Crevasse Rescue and Glacier Travel"
by Andy Tyson, Illustrator: Mike Clelland
An AMS favorite! Andy and Mike sent AMS the draft to edit months before it was published and it is chocked full of they way we like to manage crevasse fall hazard. Glacier Mountaineering provides mountaineers with the knowledge and skills needed to travel safely and self-sufficiently in glacial terrain. Detailed illustrations and clear descriptions will guide you systematically through glacier anatomy, equipment, route finding and rescue techniques.
