Just wanted to let folks know that applications for the 2013 class will open December 15th, and close January 31st.
The Washington Alpine Club's Basic Climbing Class offers a basic but comprehensive introduction to the technical mountaineering skills required to travel safely over snowfields, glaciers, and high-angle rock. The class size is small to preserve a high instructor to student ratio. Students in the course are exposed to the full range of climbing skills, first in a classroom setting, and then in the mountains.
The 2013 class will run from March 19th through June 16th.
Detailed information about the class and application instructions are available at http://wacclass.org.
