Instructors & Co-Chairs

BCC Instructors

Instructors for the Basic Climbing Class are all volunteers who generously donate their time, expertise, and energy to teach students. Our instructors are all climbers who embody the mission of the Washington Alpine Club to encourage health and enjoyment, stewardship, and fellowship among all outdoor recreationslists. Many of our instructors are BCC alumni, and all instructors are required to pass a series of prerequisites before consideration. You can learn more about volunteer requirements on our Volunteering page.
