The Boeing Employees Alpine Society (BoeAlps) was founded in 1963 by a handful of
fellow outdoorsmen. The organization offers a year-round program of climbing and
social activities for all members. We are primarily a climbing club, but many of
our members are active in cross-country and back-country skiing, snowshoeing, backpacking,
mountain biking, and other outdoor activities.
Our monthly general meetings keep
members informed and provide an atmosphere for meeting new friends and socializing
with old ones. Many climbs are organized at the monthly meetings. You will see slide
shows from speakers on adventures in areas ranging from the Cascades to Mt.
Everest.
Each spring BoeAlps offers a Basic Climbing Course
that is highly regarded in the Northwest climbing community. Basic techniques
in this course open the door to exciting climbs throughout the world. The basic
course includes ascents of several local peaks and an overnight graduation climb
at the end of the course.
For those who have basic skills and the desire to learn what is involved in climbing
some of the more technical and remote routes in the Cascades, BoeAlps also offers
an Intermediate Climbing Course.
Other club benefits include a monthly newsletter,
equipment check-out,
a library,
and special classes and seminars offered at a dsicount to club members.
