Mountaineering Courses - BOEALPS or Washigton Alpine Club

[Sack]

Thanks in advance-

Looking to get some experience on snow and take a basic climbing / mountaineering course. Don't really know anyone who has take either basic course at BOEALPS or WAC and wanted to see if anyone had any experience in the classes or with the groups in general? Is one class or group better regarded?

Thank you!

I've heard good things about both, but all the clubs are only as good as who is currently helping teach.  So, none of my intel is very current I'm afraid....  Good luck, there is a long history of good experiences with basic climbing courses! 

I got my start in 1999's Mountaineers Basic class, where I met my wife....and the rest is history.
