I did an OB course 10 years ago. Instructors were mainly the Sierra Club type, and VERY PC (maybe not the one instructor who was a Sherpa, but he wasn't the head instructor)

Still a great course.

I was 38 at the time, and the oldest on the trip. Excluding me and instructors, the average age was 23.

There were three instructors in our group. Two of them were probably Sierra-Club types, but the head instructor was more of an old-school mountain man mindset. I have a feeling in reading the alumni newspaper that NOLS has gone full greenie since then.
