Welcome to the digital home of HSTR 467, History of Mountaineering (Greater Ranges edition), a SP 2016 seminar at Montana State University. I’m still working out some kinks in the website, so please forgive any hiccups along the way. My hope is this will be a more useful platform than D2L for facilitating your writing & continuing our discussion outside of class. This course is very much a work in progress on many levels, and I really encourage any feedback (good and bad!) on what you like, what you don’t, and what would make this a better experience for you.

By this weekend, please get yourself set up on the site (you will receive an invitation via email to create your author profile) & familiarize yourself with the layout. Your first reading response will be due by the evening of Tuesday, 1/19, so to avoid panicked emails that evening, take a look around and post your self-introduction sometime before then. The D2L site is “active,” but beyond a copy of a syllabus and link to this site, is empty: everything we need is found here.
