The basic climbing course is
a program of classroom and field instruction designed to equip
students with the fundamental skills and experience necessary
to safely climb most rock, snow, and glaciated peaks in the Pacific
Northwest. Instruction includes alpine travel and navigational techniques
as well as the technical aspects of roped climbing on rock, snow,
and glaciers.
It concentrates on basic climbing techniques and mountaineering
skills: rope handling, knots, navigation, belaying, rappelling,
crevasse rescue and safety.
Although the course is demanding, the rewards are great. The acquisition
of these skills opens the door to a lifetime of outdoor enjoyment.

Climbs, the Intermediate Climbing Course, and other advanced climbing
seminars periodically offered by the Everett branch.

You must make a significant investment in time, energy, psychological
preparation, and money that the required equipment and course demand.

skills and conditioning should consider enrolling in the
Mountaineers
Alpine Scrambling Course before taking the Basic Climbing Course.

Member cost: $50.00
The Everett Branch Self Rescue Course (SRC) is comprised of three
components, SRC 1, SRC 2 and SRC 3. Together they help develop
fundamental skills applicable to self-rescue while climbing on
rock, glacier and ice. The emphasis will be on a party of two’s
self-sufficiency in the mountains. This is an advanced level climbing course. It is targeted to second year ICC students
and climb leaders. Fees for each component are $50. Contact Tony Tsuboi at 206-459-9398 or ttsuboi@oz.net
SRC 1 - Fundamental Techniques will cover ascending
methods, various methods of transferring loads, various methods
of descending with
an injured partner, and hauling systems. The primary scenario will
be rescuing an injured follower. This component is a prerequisite
to SRC 2 and will be offered twice this summer.
The bulk of learning will take place independently of the scheduled
dates above. You will need to commit to meeting with a partner
and working with one of the instructors on a weekly basis in preparation
for the field trips. Plan accordingly for this. Because this is
the first run of this course, we will need your help to instruct
in the future. Please do not sign up for this course if you cannot
make that commitment up front.
Register via the Mountaineers website or through the clubhouse,
206-284-8484. See a fuller course description under the course
code listings on the website www.mountaineers.org.
Simply enter “rescue” in

If you are a Basic Climbing Graduate, you are eligible to help
instruct in the Everett Basic Climbing Course. Instructing is a
great way to refresh your skills and reinforce the things you’ve
been taught in class. If you are a recent Basic graduate or a
new instructor, you are required to attend both sessions in order
to instruct in this year’s Basic course. Participation in
the Instructor Review is required at a minimum of once every three
years in order to
remain current. However, all instructors are encouraged to attend
every year they plan to help.
Instructing is also a core component of the Intermediate Climbing
Course. If you plan to enroll in the Everett Branch Intermediate
Climbing Course, you must attend the Instructor Review in order
to help instruct.
To sign up simply fill out the instructor survey that was emailed
to you. If you did not receive a survey and would like to help
out at this year’s class send an email to the Basic Climbing
Course Coordinator, Brent Colvin, brent.colvin@pemco.com or
425-744-7239.
