Official Trips

Official Trips are sponsored by the Sierra Club.

A separate list of unofficial trips that may be of interest is maintained here.

In addition to the trips listed below, an advanced trip schedule was developed at the 2/23/10 trip planning meeting. These trips aren't guaranteed to go: in most cases, permits have not yet been secured.

Arun's Annual Round Top Day Hike

Start: 2010-03-21
End: 2010-03-21

Arun isn't dead yet but he is working on it. Join us on what has been Arun's annual Roundtop Day Hike. Arun cannot do it this year so this means you are stuck with Ron Karpel and Rick Booth. Consider yourself warned. Cat herding begins at 8:00 AM at the Carson Pass Snow Park on Sunday, March 21, 2010. We will be moving at 8:30 AM. Snow shoes or skis, ice ax and crampons are needed and the ability to use them. Group size limited to 12. No morons. Snow Park Pass a must. Bad weather cancels. This means rain, snow, howling wind, freezing cold, tsunami, avalanche conditions, hurricane, flood. We are fair weather climbers.
