CMC is offering WFA Basic classes for $85, and the Wilderness Medicine Outfitters WFA Basic for $95 and Wilderness Medicine Intermediate for $145, classes available in Golden. The latter also WFR recert. Same stuff, more affordable.

Just adding to the mix. I know you want to promote the AAC but after Friday night with The Boy's Club I'm more than a little offended by the Old Men Attitudes.

So sorry your Friday night was rough. Can we keep that out of this post? Lots of boys and girls were having a good time at the annual dinner on Sat so I can't say its a common issue.

Until the club becomes competitive in all markets, programs, gender, opportunity, you're climbing up the wrong wall. And I certainly think the conversation I had with Arlene Blum today would support that.
