Alpine Club Kickoff: Crag & Climb Day

Join the Alpine Club for our inaugural event: Crag & Climb Day! Whether you’re a seasoned climber or new to the sport, this is the perfect opportunity to meet fellow Boise State students passionate about climbing and mountaineering. We’ll spend the day enjoying outdoor climbing at a local crag, practicing climbing techniques, and sharing stories about past adventures. Our goal is to help bridge the gap between sport/trad climbing and mountaineering, offering tips for those looking to take the next step in their climbing careers.

Expect a day of climbing, community building, and a chance to learn more about what the Alpine Club has in store this year!
