Welcome to Our Web Site!

The California Mountaineering Club is a mountaineering club with members throughout California and the west. We have a full schedule of trips year around, covering the full range of climbing, from multi-day alpine ascents and winter mountaineering to weekend hiking, rock climbing and ice climbing outings. Our focus is on technical alpine ascents, mostly in the Sierra Nevada. We frequent many of California's most popular rock and ice climbing destinations and offer class 2 and 3 dayhikes throughout California.

 

  • Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, a decision has been made to place all club functions and activities on hold.  Functions and activities include – outings, newsletters, meetings, collection of annual dues, and board elections.

 

Mountaineering, rock climbing or snow outings,

the CMC outings schedule has a variety of options to choose from.
