WAC Intermediate Climbing Class

The Washington Alpine Club Board and Cochairs continue to monitor the Covid-19 situation and are committed to CDC and Washington State DOH guidelines.

Applications are now closed for the 2022 class.

Please check back in the spring of 2023 for Self Rescue, and mid-summer for the full class.

The Washington Alpine Club's Intermediate Climbing Class offers lead rock climbing experience that builds on the mountaineering skills taught in the Basic Class. This course focuses on teaching the skills necessary to become competent climbing partners in technical rock, ice, and alpine environments. The class format follows that of the Basic Climbing Class with Tuesday night lectures followed by weekend field trips. The course typically accepts 8 students to maintain a 1:1 instructor-student ratio, and comply to permit limitations where we teach and camp. See our curriculum and schedule for more info.
