Learn Basic Mountaineering from the Pikes Peak Group School Modules!


Come learn safety in mountaineering with the Pikes Peak Group on one of two tracks in Basic Mountaineering School (BMS).  The Pikes Peak Group BMS program offers both a technical track, focused on Rock Climbing, Alpine Snow Mountaineering and Ice Climbing, as well as a Wilderness Trekking track.  Classroom sessions are offered in Colorado Springs with field sessions in and near the Colorado Springs area.

The 2012 schedule includes five classes: Wilderness Fundamentals, Wilderness Navigation, Colorado Alpine Snow Mountaineering, Colorado Rock Climbing and Wilderness Backpacking.  The sixth class of the BMS series - Colorado Ice Climbing - is taken as the final module in the winter of the following year. 

Registration will be available soon and this program fills quickly!  There are no pre-requisites to the Pikes Peak Group BMS program.
