Required compass:
You will need a Mountaineers approved compass. Please read this prior to purchasing a compass: Compass Requirements
Students need a compass with a screw type adjustable declination. Tool-less / key-less models will bring you nothing but grief.
Every student must have their own compass; sharing won't work in our class structure.
Workshop materials:

- A Textbook:
Wilderness Navigation, Burns & Burns (eBooks are acceptable!)
- or -
Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills
