I've been there. It's a chill course, very practical. Their emphasis is on getting guys trained up on mountaineering as it applies to our current deployment focus, and potential future ops. Only real downside is since it's a national guard school, it isn't the best funded, so some of the practical exercises were a little hokey compared to what I've seen at other mountain schools. But the information is all there. It's not a difficult school at all. There are go/no-go events but you have plenty of time to practice. And their timed knot test has some of the most generous time hacks I've seen.

Its def one of the most worthwhile of the conventional army schools.
