The Bushwhacker Climbing Club presents a special evening seminar, Thursday night April 20, Conditioning for the Glacier Climber led by climbing instructors and leaders, Doug and Courtenay Schurman, of Body Results.

UPDATE: I asked Jim how it went. "It was really well recieved. 5 of the 12 glacier course students were there, total show of 14."

Registration has begun for the Glacier Skills Refresher outing, Saturday April 15.

UPDATE: We ran the first GSR today and it went really well. Lead by Doxey, the outing included Jim, Jane, Steve, Patrick, Kristin, and Randy. We covered self-belay maneuver, team arrest, initial response to crevasse fall, assisted self-rescue, and direct pull method for crevasse rescue. Had all kinds of weather out there - warm sunshine to fairly heavy snowfall It was great! Carla is leading a GSR in May - that outing is full also. Good luck Carla!

The Bushwhacker Climbing Club presents the Photography of Stephen Matera at REI, Thursday night April 13. Steve will show images from his recent traverse through the rugged Picket Range for Backpacker Magazine, as well as trips to New Zealand, Alaska, Arizona and Utah.

UPDATE: Wow, what a turnout! Great show, Steve, with beautiful photographs. Thanks!
