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:
