Vy can't ve chust climb? - John Salathe

The Peak Climbing Section (PCS) is an activity section of the Loma Prieta Chapter of the Sierra Club. Most of our members live in the San Francisco Bay Area. We're a diverse group brought together by our love for climbing in the mountains. Our activities are as varied as the Sierra topography: we climb rock, snow and ice, crags and high summits, we ski and snowshoe, hike the local hills and travel abroad to climb. Our focus is on non-technical ascents of peaks in the Sierra Nevada. Each month we publish our newsletter, Scree.

Our Next Meeting

Our meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month. You are welcome to attend.

PCS Holiday Party

December 8, 2009
7 – 10 pm
420 Kent Drive, Mountain View, CA 94043

Mark your calendars now for the annual PCS party, to be held this year at Aaron Schuman’s clubhouse. We’ll be eating, drinking, jumping in the hot tub, and sharing our favorite trips from 2009.

Here’s your assignment:

A – D - appetizer
E – I - salad
J – N - main course
O – S – dessert
T – Z – beverages

In addition, feel free to bring your alcoholic beverage of choice, and of course, since we are a green organization, bring your own plate, cup, and eating utensils. And most importantly, you’ll need your bathing suit if you want to enjoy the hot tub. Finally, don’t forget photos from your best climbing adventures of 2009. We’ll provide projector and screen.

We’ll also be sending out directions, a Google map link and, for all our tech-obsessed climbers, GPS coordinates, to help you navigate to the party.

See you there! Judy and Lisa (aka the partcom)

Fall, Winter, Spring Trip Schedule

An advanced trip schedule was developed at the 9/22/09 trip planning meeting. These trips aren't guaranteed to go: in most cases, permits have not yet been secured. Fully planned trips can be found on the Trip Schedule.
