UNM Mountaineering Club

Collegiate Climbing Series

USA Climbing has created a Collegiate Climbing Series which encourages all climbers currently enrolled in classes to compete. UNM is part of the New Mexico/Colorado Region, and five competitions were held last season. UNM Mountaineering Club would like to encourage all interested people to join the UNM Competitive Climbing Team. Here are some details:

  • All skill levels are welcome
  • Team will be separated into Novice, Intermediate and Advanced groups
  • All groups will receive professional level training from either Brandi Proffitt or Timy Fairfield
  • UNM Mountaineering will do its best to subsidize the cost of training and competition
Please contact the UNM Mountaineering Club if interested.
