1. I recognize some of the peeps in the pix, and most of the pix are from the Mounties scrambling course, not the climbing course. Most of those people are getting somewhat vertical for the first time in their lives, fresh off the hiking trail, so whaddya expect?
2. I learned how to climb through the generosity of volunteers in the Mountaineers, and I sure as hayll ain't gonna bite the hand that fed me, so to speak. CC.com didn't exist when I started climbing, besides which, noobs get so much flack on this site, doubt they would get a good start in climbing here.
3. That said, I personally have never enjoyed the structured, virtually militaristic way outdoor clubs like the Mounties run their courses, but it must work for some people--they've been running courses for a long-ass time, and it gets the job done. And aside from the structure, you meet some nice folks and good climbers.
