1. Learning the Skills

The Mountaineers Basic Alpine Climbing class has been taught continuously since 1935. The Mountaineers also offers numerous courses, including Hiking, Scrambling, Navigation, Winter Mountaineering, and many others. Mountaineers volunteers lead hundreds of climbs, scrambles, and hikes every year. The Mountaineers Books publishes many “how to” instructional books and “where to” guidebooks—like this 100 peaks guide.”
