warm-up snow climb, 6 miles with 3,200 feet of gain. Ice axe and crampons
required. Send email with experience/conditioning to Joe at

Winter Membership Outing

This year's Winter Membership Outing will be held on the north slopes of San
Gorgonio, in Horse Meadows. Join us for a fun day practicing snow skills,
and/or skiing and snowshoeing. Ski, snowshoe, or hike (1.5 miles+/-) to the
Horse Meadows area. We plan to practice snow anchors, ice axe arrest, "Z"
and "C" crevasse rescue systems, roped team travel and fixed line travel.
Note: if we are lacking local snow, the outing may relocate to the sierra.
Send email with experience/conditioning to Joe at
<mailto:josephlwhite at earthlink.net> josephlwhite at earthlink.net, or Tom at

May 3rd - 5th                                             Friday - Sunday
Eastern Sierra Backcountry Skiing

We are looking for some backcountry skiers or boarders who would be
interested in joining us for some backcountry skiing in the eastern sierra.
Prefer day trips only, so our packs will be light!  Conditions will
determine the final location but the general idea is to car camp in an area
and make single day ascents/descents.  Low snow pack may prompt the pursuit
of turn-free objectives.  Send an email to Chris (jakecattleco at yahoo.com )
or Ron (rsnorton473 at yahoo.com) if interested.

LEADERS/ORGANIZERS:  Ron Norton and Chris Jakober

 

 

August 3rd - 10th                                    Saturday - Saturday.
Black, Red and Mt. Kaweah

Come join us for a week long adventure into one of the most scenic areas in
the Sierra.  From the Mineral King trailhead we will head over Sawmill pass
and down into the Big Arroyo before heading up to a camp that puts us in
position to climb our main objectives:  Black Kaweah, Red Kaweah and Mt.
Kaweah.  Other climbing objectives may also be attempted depending on group
gusto.  Participants must be in good physical condition and comfortable with
class 3 climbing.  Send recent experience and conditioning to Ron
(rsnorton473 at yahoo.com).  

 LEADER/ORGANIZER:  Ron Norton
