Commercial Mountaineering Instruction Available in Colorado

Skills are essential to reducing your risk while enjoying Colorado's backcountry. This is why the Colorado Mountain Club offers its members so many courses. However, not all of our members can be accommodated both because the schools fill up and are offered only once or twice a year. The following is a list of businesses offering instruction in Colorado. Being listed here is not an endorsement.
