Mountaineering
Basic Climbs

A Summit is one of the best accomplishments in life - at any age

Warning: Mountain Climbing requires special training and gear and is inherently dangerous.

We have Skilled and Experienced Youth and Adult Climbers in our Troop. If a climb is considered, a good amount of training must be completed prior to a summit attempt and only a select few Scouts and Adults will be able to attend.

If you are considering a Climb, consider taking a climbing course and using a Guide Service for your big adventure.

Do NOT Attempt Mountain Climbing without properly Trained Instructors!
