If you’re based in Manila, looking to spend your weekends exploring what nature has to offer, and are looking for like-minded individuals, this might be what you’re looking for.
AMCI’s Basic Mountaineering Course or BMC is a course that integrates Physical Fitness, Lectures, and Skills Training into a comprehensive 5-month Program (June to October). The course includes 5 climbs around the Philippines, rapelling, rock climbing, and Red Cross training. AMCI has been conducting Basic Mountaineering Course since 1983 and has trained more than 1000 mountaineers since then. Those who complete the 5-month program are eligible to be inducted into the club.
AMCI is one of the mountaineering clubs that are in correspondence and collaboration with PinoyMountaineer.com.
The fee for this year’s BMC is P 4,500. A free orientation will be conducted on June 6, 2012 at the Penthouse of the Old Makati Stock Exchange Building, Ayala Avenue, Makati.

Passing the 15k physical fitness exam is part of the requirements for being inducted into the club. However, you do not need to pass to complete the course. However, based on experience, BMC helps tremendously with weight concerns as it is a lot more effective and healthier than a Belo treatment.
Is running the 15k marathon really necessary? I'm a bit overweight and is concerned that this activity may blowout my knees. What's your take Doc Gids?
how can i join this course? more info please thanks
