Peak Crushers Program is Open for 2023

The CMC is excited to announce year three of the Peak Crushers program. This program is aimed at competent runner-scramblers wishing to improve their speed and efficiency in higher altitudes and on ridges and those interested in the art of light & fast movement in the high peaks of Colorado. 

The program is open to the first 20 people who apply and meet the minimum fitness and competency qualifications. It will run June – September and include educational sessions on gear, fitness and nutrition, and navigation, as well as several challenging objectives in Colorado's high peaks (dates and announcement of guest lecturers to come soon).

Program participants should:

1. be a CMC member
2. be able to run 5 miles on rough trail with a minimum average pace of 12-minute miles,
3. be extremely comfortable with 3rd and 4th class terrain un-roped, and
4. be familiar & comfortable with lightweight gear in the mountain environment.
