Informational Seminar for Intermediate Students - Online Classroom

We will be reviewing the six modular courses that are part of our intermediate program,  their pre-requisites and timeline for applications. If you are reading this in summer of 2025 please note that applications for modules usually open at the end of October/beginning of November. 

Modules and estimated course dates listed below:

• Self Rescue 1 (Jan/Feb)
• Winter Mountaineering and Advanced Crevasse Rescue (Jan-May)
• Single Pitch Trad (Mar-May)
• Multi Pitch Trad (May-June)
• Intro to Alpine Ice (Aug-Oct)
• Self Rescue II (Sept-Oct)

The Intermediate Alpine Climbing Course teaches the technical skills necessary to climb on the rock, snow, and ice typically found in the Cascade and Olympic mountains of the Pacific Northwest. The course has a strong focus on developing leadership skills, including technical competence, interpersonal skills, and good judgement. Course graduates will have the knowledge and skills to organize and lead Basic-level climbs, and to participate in Intermediate-level alpine, rock, and ice climbs. The Mountaineers Intermediate climbing curriculum is designed to provide entry points to become a Rope Climb Leader, and eventually earn the Climb Leader position with the organization.
