The Washington Alpine Club's Basic Climbing Class offers a basic but comprehensive introduction to the technical mountaineering skills required to travel safely over snowfields, glaciers, and high-angle rock. The class size is small to preserve a high instructor to student ratio. Students in the course are exposed to the full range of climbing skills, first in a classroom setting, and then in the mountains. You must be a member of the WAC to take the class (see membership instructions).
The 2010 class will run from March 23rd through June 13th. The application period for the 2010 class is now closed. Check back in late fall.
We encourage you to explore the website to learn more about the class. In addition, if you know anyone who has taken the class, talk to them to get a feel for what to expect. If you have any other questions, please contact the cochairs at wacclass-cochairs@yahoogroups.com.
