Not a full member yet, but here's what I think sounds most interesting:
* Intermediate Glacier Climbing Course - beyond the basics; leading, steep terrain, crevasse puzzles
* Cragging Course - a rock climbing course covering basic skills such as rappelling
I could see a bunch of folks opting for these - new skills & new experiences.
* Leadership Course - a set of lectures and field trips challenging the aspiring trip leader
I think this could help you generate new leaders for courses - almost a must-have to grow the group
* Guide Tricks for Climbers - aimed at trad rock leaders; techniques that guides employ As we discussed - keep the more experienced members active!
* Avalanche Awareness - an avy course concentrating on avoidance rather than rescue
* Scrambling/Cross Country - an off-trail mountain travel course, but less technical so no ropes needed
Smaller outings that wouldn't take as much commitment & would be easy for busy people to fit into a weekend - I like the idea of having some offerings like this
