- You like mental and physical challenges
- You’ve climbed indoors and you want to learn how to become an outdoor climber
- You want to transition from sport climbing, bouldering, or top-rope to alpine and trad
- You want to climb glaciers and snow-covered mountains
Volunteers with a passion for climbing
The Mountaineers is neither a guide service nor a commercial gym. We are climbing veterans who volunteer because of our love for the sport. Instructing this class isn’t our job—it’s our passion.
The student’s experience
If you’re a self-starting learner who is ready to take responsibility for your learning experience, then you are right for the Mountaineers. And if you have aspirations of surviving and thriving season after season in the high alpine environment—then the Mountaineers is right for you.
