Fall 2009 Schools and Clinics

The Boulder Group of the CMC offers a variety of schools and clinics for our members.  All of our schools focus on safety, preparation, and good stewardship as keys to enjoying the mountains.  We believe in fostering teamwork and empowering the learner to make good decisions about safety.

All lectures are held at the Boulder Group Clubroom: 633 South Broadway Unit N, Boulder, Colorado, 80305.  This is in the Table Mesa Shopping Center right above Movie Gallery (and around the corner from Neptune Mountaineering).  All lectures start at 6:30pm unless otherwise specified.
