If you are in the (MC)2 SIG you have permission to sign up. If you are in a different SIG and wish to sign up, please email and request permission before signing up.
Given the size of the SIG and the max group size at MRNP we will organize a second trip. Signup for the waitlist here and we will do roster management as needed.
This field trip will focus on introducing basic climbing class students to the basics of snow belays, snow anchors, crevasse rescue, traveling together on a rope, and snow camping.
