BDS Planning & Urban Design facilitated The Mountaineers’ Progressive Climbing Education Plan. This six-month planning process with The Mountaineers, an outdoor recreation, education, and conservation organization founded in 1906, produced a path for the future of the organization’s climbing education program. The process involved conversations with hundreds of volunteers and members from branches across the state, and focused on existing program review, issues and options. This process directly shaped the guiding principles for Progressive Climbing Education.
