The Sierra Peaks Section is an Outings Section of the Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club that explores, enjoys, preserves, and stimulates interest in climbing and hiking up peaks in the Sierra Nevada. The Section offers a varied schedule of activities during the climbing season ranging from introductory trips for beginning climbers and graduates of the Wilderness Travel Course to multi-day backpacks that may require extensive mountaineering skills in rock and snow climbing. The Section sponsors many Outings or co-sponsored Outings during the spring and summer Sierra Nevada climbing season. You are encouraged to participate in one or more of the outings, enjoy the mountains, make new friends and to climb with old friends. |

To all Leaders: Send your trips to Gary Schenk: gary@hbfun.org Leaders, you can plan and submit your trips for web publication anytime, although please allow time for reviews and publication. Thanks for planning a busy and fabulous summer, climbing in the Sierra. Click to see letter to leaders.
Spring and early summer are some of the best climbing in the Sierra - no rubble heaps and the chance of fun downhill glissades.
Early Summer trips may be difficult to plan - with weather and snow conditions being unknown this far in advance. Please feel free to schedule a trip and the hope it will work out - we'll be happy to work with you if dates and even location needs to be changed when you know more.
And for those leaders who don't want to plan far in advance - don't worry; we are happy to process trips for web publication at any time. Approval can be very quick. However, please remember that web publication still requires that we submit mountaineering applications (for restricted trips) and have safety committee review.
Note! Pilot Knob (south) has been suspended from the SPS list because of access and private property issues. This has been reflected in the SPS list available on this web site. |
