Climbing Team
Mr. Strickler, Dawes
PHYS (845)938-3830
The 50 member Cadet Mountaineering Team (CMT) regularly rock climbs at bolted
cliffs along the Hudson River, granite boulders on Post, at the Gunks outside
of New Paltz, as well as in The Class of 79 Climbing Wall. During the winter
the CMT ice climbs on Post at the DPE Ice Wall, Crows Nest, and in the Catskills.
The CMT conducts 12-15 trips per year to compete against gravity, the elements,
and personal demons. The trips seek to foster the skill sets necessary to
be safe in the vertical environment, read terrain, practice and hone judgment
and decision making in the domain of rock and ice climbing. In addition the
Team travels to indoor climbing events to compete against other college climbing
teams and individuals. The Team sponsors a number of climbing events; The
Annual ClimbFest in October where guest climbers matched with cadet climbers,
Brigade Opens, as well as a local indoor climbing competition. Former cadet
climbers are climbing around the world in all disciplines.
