The Technical Climbing Section

of the

Colorado Mountain Club's
Denver Group

    
 

The Technical Section is for those members interested in technical climbing, both on rock and ice. The Technical Section sponsors programs, the Beginner Rock Climbing Seminar (BRCS), and the Intermediate Rock Climbing School (IRCS). The section has a newsletter for its members. Subscribers to the Section's e-mail list service (see below) are notified when a new issue of the newsletter is available on the web.

The Technical Section offers three types of climbing trips; regular multi-pitch, technical rock practice, and area climbs.

Regular multi-pitch climbs are the most numerous and are held at local areas, like Eldorado and Boulder Canyons, and on the Flatirons. These climbs are of a single route with all participants climbing on that route. Graduation from IRCS or equivalent experience is usually required for members to participate.

Technical rock practices are top-roped sessions on weekends or evenings. These activities are usually in an area where multiple climbs can be top-roped at once. Members should have taken BRCS, BMS, or equivalent before coming on these.

Area climbs are weekend trips for climbing either Saturday or Sunday. On these activities, several routes in an area are climbed by participants at the same time. Graduation from IRCS or equivalent experience is usually required for members to participate.
