Hey, I keep saying. Mountaineering is basically everything you like. Advanced hiking/backpacking coupled with advanced technical climbing. :) I'm pretty good at the whole hiking/backpacking/camping thing, but I'm going to need lots of climbing practice. After this weekend, I'll be all belay happy. :)
haha. Yeah, but I know sport climbing NOW. I won't be able to take the alpine climbing class until next year. :P
I wouldn't mind finding a class on Trad, but I don't see any offered that I'd be able to get into this year, so I might as well just push for Basic Alpine. I looked again at the Mountaineers site, and the crag climbing class I was looking at is actually WAY advanced, its part of the Intermediate Alpine cirriculum and requires you be pretty damn good at outdoor climbing already.
Oh well. I'll see if I can do their basic outdoor climbing and lead courses for grins, since they're more outdoor focused than the ones at VW.
Let me know when you wanna start indoor climbing though, I really am trying to maintain 3 days a week right now.
A couple of my best friends who climb are in the Washington Alpine Club, which (for better or for worse) also seems to function as a sort of impromptu dating service. Check it out at http://www.wacweb.org/ If nothing else I think you can get discounts at VW and Stone Gardens.

I'll have to drop her a line once I get a little further with this idea. =)
