Alpine Climbing School provides you with the skills needed to participate safely on non-glaciated CMC mountaineering climbs within Colorado in all weather conditions. These skills include navigation and route finding, planning and organizing climbs, rock climbing skills for following on fourth and fifth class routes, and snow climbing skills up to and including roped climbing with crampons.
This is the team track for Alpine Climbing School. That is, you commit to a block of dates and work with the same instructors and team throughout the course . If these dates do not work for you, the modular system is the alternative; look for each of the individual classes in the CMC Calendar.
You must commit to ALL of the following dates plus four trips that will be scheduled with your team. The additional trips will include a high peak ridge climb, rock climbing day, couloir climb, and a high peak graduation climb that will be the capstone of your course. These trips will be schedule with your team. Please try to keep your calendar open. Successful completion of all classes and trips is required to graduate from Alpine Climbing School. In addition, please keep your calendar open in case we need to reschedule field days or trips due to weather.
