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.

Climbing in Cordillera Blanca - Jonathan Crabtree

February 9, 2010 from 07:30 PM to 09:30 PM

3rd Quote-of-the-trip: "Climbing at altitude in foreign countries...it's like climbing at home...while sick." The photos speak for themselves in this slide show recounting our successes, failures, logistical nightmares and preparation surrounding three weeks of traveling, alpine climbing and fighting germs in the Cordillera Blanca range of the Peruvian Andes. The un-paralleled scenery and humorous tales are sure to entertain both the vertically inclined and horizontally content!

Spring, Summer Trip Planning Meeting - Feb 23rd

The biannual trip meeeting will be held at:

7:30 pm February 23, 2010

21020 Canyon View Drive, Saratoga

Come one, come all, let’s have a blast planning our trips for spring, summer and fall. Leaders, please come with ideas for trips you want to plan. Climbers, bring ideas for what you want to do this year.

There will be pizza (donations requested to cover the cost), salad and vegetables so that you do not need to have dinner before the meeting. Those who can, please bring a pot luck dish to share.

Let me know if you need directions, but Google is your best bet.
