Have you wanted to climb our nearby mountains but don’t know how to get started? Hood, St. Helens, Adams? Maybe others? The Mazama Basic Climbing Education Program (BCEP) is for you! BCEP teaches the skills needed to climb snow covered peaks and outdoor rock—and introduces you to other people who like to climb!

To learn more about the Basic Climbing Education Program go to: mazamas.org/BCEP/

Mazama Members receive priority acceptance into BCEP if we have more people apply than the program can take. If you would like to join the Mazamas, you can do so now at mazamas.org/join.

At the Mazamas we strive to be welcoming to everyone. We understand that some members in our community feel most comfortable learning new skills or participating in a team where they are learning from individuals of a similar background. As part of this effort, we are offering a team specifically tailored to the LGBTQ community and it's allies.

Come on down to BCEP's Information Night to learn more!
