Technical Practice Sessions typically include targeted skills designated by the leader(s) as well as space for participants to practice their choice of technical skills.
Technical Practice Sessions are a peer learning environment. No formal training is provided, and participants must have the pre-requisite training to participate. Participants are encouraged to bring books or materials to reference.
Required Equipment
Mountaineers equipment will be available to borrow for the practice session. Simply show up and we will get you the equipment you need for the day.
Please bring any equipment that you already own, and layers appropriate for the weather. The North Plaza in October is often COLD!
