High Altitude Mountaineering School

This badge represents the successful completion of the High Altitude Mountaineering School. The High Altitude Mountaineering School (HAMS) is for CMC members who are interested in learning and practicing the glacier travel and alpine skills that are needed to safely climb and enjoy glaciated mountains, including Mt. Rainier, Denali, the Andes, and the Himalayas! HAMS culminates in a climb of Mt. Rainier, Mt Baker, Mt Adams or a similar high, glaciated peak.
