CMC Video: The 10 Essentials

Planning a backcountry trip into the mountains this summer? If you're new to hiking or backpacking, or maybe it's been awhile, you might want to watch this video first - as a first step towards building (or refreshing) your backcountry skills set. This is the second video in the Colorado Mountain Club's series focused on backcountry education. The series was made possible by the CMC Steve Gladbach Memorial Fund.



Steve Gladbach was a beloved Colorado mountaineer, a long time member of the Colorado Mountain Club, and belonged to the 14ers.com community. He loved climbing. In the summer of 2013 he lost his life while descending Thunder Pyramid Peak.

One of Steve's passions was mountaineering education and safety. Through the generosity of family and friends, the Steve Gladbach Memorial Fund was created to promote Colorado mountaineering education.
