Registration for Basic Glacier Course

The Basic Glacier Climbing Course Instructor Team and the Club Board of Directors is pleased to announce that registration for the 2010 Basic Glacier Climbing Course will begin Tuesday, February 16, at 9:00am.  The link to register will appear on the club website at that time.

Registration is first come, first served.  A lot of folks have expressed interest in signing up.  The instructor team as well as the Board have been meeting and making plans.  There is a lot of buzz surrounding the course this year, very exciting!

If you or someone you know would like to register, please view the course schedule and make sure you understand it.  The course schedule is posted on the Glacier Course page of the club website.

Okay, tell your friends and neighbors.  Registration begins Tuesday Feb 16 at 9:00am at the club website.

UPDATE:  The course filled very quickly.  We do have a waiting list, and we encourage you to sign up for that.  Also, if you wanted to sign up for the Glacier Course, please consider our Backcountry Skills Course.  It is also a great course, covers a subset of the skills, is led by a merry band of jokesters, and will visit some beautiful and rugged mountains.

Mount Rainier, Emmons Glacier

<photo here>A climb of Mount Rainier's Emmons Glacier starts in forests with immense trees, includes visits to flower gardens in meadows, and snow fields near waterfalls.  Finally arriving at the glacier, the team ascends steep snow and negotiates tricky crevasse crossings.  This variety is part of what makes the Emmons Glacier a Bushwhacker community favorite.
