Description

Our basic mountaineering course is designed for
new club
members (novice
climbers/mountaineers), to learn the skills
necessary for safe
travel in mountainous terrain.

Mountaineering is a skill that takes years to
become really
experienced at, so our goal for this courses is
to
simply make
you confident enough with the basic skills.
Following that, you
can go out and practice yourself, as well as
continue to learn
from others on the various trips and camps the
club puts on.

In addition to signing up via
the calendar, you
must also fill
out a Course
Application
Form to
participate in
this course..

Signup order (via the calendar) has zero
significance for this course, as we use your
application submission date
instead. Our team will review and approve
applications as fast as
we can,
following which you will be notified.

This course takes a substantial amount of
effort,
more-so than any other course. Brian Messer is
currently our volunteer superhero offering his
support on the administration side of things.
Please be
patient with him, and he will 100% get back to
in due time
(provided you fill out the application form as
asked), It may take a few weeks. That said, if
your tent is on fire
(or there is
a similar level of urgency) and
you need to contact somebody sooner, you can
reach him at:

handout
ahead of time, and read through the course
itinerary
also.
