OUR SPECIAL INTEREST SECTIONS

Mountaineering
The Potomac Mountain Club is the Mountaineering Section of PATC and is the premier rock climbing, ice climbing and mountaineering club serving the D.C. Metro area since 1944.

They are a diverse group of local DC area climbers who share a common interest in promoting safe climbing, conserving the outdoors, developing new climbers' skills and having fun ! Instruction is provided for those wanting to learn the basics.   This is not a school, but will get you started.   Climbs are local or further afield, nearly every weekend.  In winter, trips are organized for beginning and advanced climbers.  

More Info:  Visit Potomac Mountain Club for their schedule and get contact information.
