BME is excited to announce a new program this summer! This ten day introduction to mountaineering course will help you develop a set of alpine climbing skills on rock and snow. With each set of skills, we provide you with practice climbing, anchor building, navigating and decision making so you can develop in each technique. You will learn technical systems and develop mountain judgment, becoming aware of alpine hazards and risk management strategies. Check out our program here:
