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.
Mountaineering, rock climbing or snow outings, the CMC outings schedule has a variety of options to choose from.

Membership Meeting, Oct. 20th 6:30pm Old Spaghetti Factory in Fullerton Join us as Anne Anglim talks about her recent trip to South America. “A vegetarian goes to Argentina” As a terrible plane sleeper, I had plenty of meditation time on the looming task during the long overnight flight to the Southern Hemisphere. My goals were to drink Malbec wine deemed unsuitable for export, and try to climb Cerro Aconcagua. I thought that I was a bit short on several items: paid vacation time, disposable income, and mountaineering know-how for such an endeavor. Nonetheless, I had set Aconcagua as a seemingly unattainable goal after finishing the Sierra Club’s Wilderness Travel Course in 2007. That year, I heard the story of a WTC leader who had climbed Aconcagua only a few years after completing WTC herself. Inspired by such a feat, and in need of a tangible goal to see me through my 19th mid-life crisis/7th vision quest, I asked for the time off at work and signed on with International Mountain Guides (IMG). |

The Club is searching for a program for future Membership
meetings. If you know of anyone who would be interested in making a
mountaineering oriented presentation of one hour length to a group of 20-30
persons at a location in the Los Angeles metro area, please contact Henry Arnebold,
President, with the necessary contact information. The Club is also looking for locations in the Los Angeles metro area
to hold our quarterly Membership meetings. Please contact Joe White if you want to suggest
locations where dinner and meeting space for a group of 20 - 30 can be found.
