Mission
The Alpine Club is dedicated to bringing together Boise State students interested in mountaineering and the outdoors. We develop leadership, good judgement, risk management, and self awareness in addition to providing the skills required to competently travel over snow, ice, and rock in alpine terrain. Our primary focus is to go out on student-led, recreational climbing trips that are suited to all ability levels.
