The best way to get to know people is to show up for a meeting and/or pub night. These are scheduled on our Calendar.

How to Join

You can join the club by filling out a waiver and paying the $25 annual fee. This can be done by:

• Visiting the HUB ticketing office (currently on the second floor of Condon--cash or check only!)
• Coming to a meeting or climbing night (see our calendar)
• Getting in touch with one of the officers.

Why Should I Join?

• Free checkout of a ton of sweet gear.
• 10% off retail at Second Ascent and Feathered Friends.
• Twice a year we organize campouts in Mazama that are a ton of fun.
• More experienced members organize beginner friendly trips to help people practice their climbing skills.
• A community of people to get out in the mountains with.

Wait, I've Never Climbed Before. Where Should I Start?

For historical and liability reasons the club doesn't have a formalized process for teaching beginners how to climb. Unfortunately this means you will have to find your own path into the wonderful world of climbing. But don't worry, there are a lot of resources to help you!

• Sign up for an intro rock climbing class at the IMA crags.
• Watch the trip planning section of our forum. Sometimes people organize trips specifically for beginners. Or you can start a new thread to see if anyone wants to get out!
• Come to our meetings (see the calendar). Sometimes we go over skills like navigation, knot tying, or ski tuning. And we are always open to suggestions!
• If you have the loot, take a course from the Mountaineers, the Washington Alpine Club, or the American Alpine Institute.
