SUMMARY:Yosemite - Snow Camping (Glacier Point Area)
DESCRIPTION:Snowshoes /cross country skies Required \nYosemite – Snow Camping\nLocation: To be determined \nWinter transforms Yosemite’s familiar landscapes; exploring in winter is like finding a whole new park. But winter is less forgiving for the wilderness traveller\, and some extra precautions are in order. \nNOT FOR BEGINNERS (We reserve the right to deny or remove any members if they are deemed inappropriate for this trip. ) \nYou must have previous snow backpack with this group before. NO EXCEPTIONS. (Join one of our other trips to qualify.) \nRSVP: You will be put on a waiting list\, we will contact you via meetup message. If you do not respond to our message\, we will go to the next person on the waiting list. RSVP will open in FEB. \nTrail Stats\nMileage: 15+ Miles Round Trip\nTrip Elevation Gain: 1000+ Ft\nLevel: Moderately\nTerrain Type: Snow & COLD* \nItinerary (updating soon) \nRules:\nNO PLUS (1)\nLimited to 10 people \nSnowshoe touring in Yosemite can be a magnificent experience\, or it can be a disaster if certain simple preparations are ignored. Park rangers have assembled a set of suggestions which\, when observed\, can help ensure a safe trip even if you encounter stormy weather or unforeseen problems. \nDISCLAIMER: Hike at your own risk. Be responsible for yourself and your safety. Make good decisions. With any trip\, things can change\, reservations can get lost\, the unexpected can happen. A go-with-the-flow attitude is always a good thing\, and most importantly\, let’s all have fun! This is an intermediate hike. Make sure you are in good enough physical shape for the distance\, elevation changes\, and terrain. The hike leaders in this group aren’t professional hike leaders. By signing up for these events\, you agree not to hold the Meetup organizers responsible for whatever happens to you on these events. The hiking group does not certify the expertise of the organizers\, the event or assistant organizers (hike leaders) and…We are NOT responsible for any possible losses or injuries.

SUMMARY:Learn Rock Skills & Meet the Legendary Lynn Hill
DESCRIPTION:December 6-8\, 2024 (registration link at the bottom)\nClimbSmart is the largest gathering of climbers at Joshua Tree\, and is owned and managed by Friends Of Joshua Tree (501 c3\, founded 1991). Now in its 29th year\, this event kicks off the climbing season in Joshua Tree with education and stewardship as the primary pillars\, as well as the chance to give back to our Park and those who actively conserve it. Over 300 attendees are anticipated every year\, and the mix of climbers represents a unique blend of new entrants to the sport and old-school traditionalists. Partners in anchoring the Climb Smart presentations include the National Park Service\, top athletes\, native tribes of the region and local legends. \nClimb Smart is a 3-day event\, running all day Friday through Sunday on a special weekend in the Fall each year. Special mini-clinics run by working guides at Joshua Tree National Park offer introduction and refresher content in 2 or 3 session tracks\, as well as managed toprope climbing for those who simply want to try their skills on the quartz monzonite stone. Each evening a catered dinner is provided and a stage show delivers entertainment\, inspiration and more education in multimedia format. We always have great brand sponsors and local and regional retailers as well as a killer raffle. The attendee of Climb Smart will leave more experienced\, better networked\, psyched for climbing and likely with some swag items too. \nOne of the unique offerings at Climb Smart is working with professional climbing guides in mini-clinic format which allows for getting to know several different organizations\, style differences\, and consistencies between climbing schools. In the end\, all of the guide organizations invited to participate in Climb Smart are top shelf\, longstanding professional outfits permitted by the Park and have strong reputations in the climbing community. \nIt’s VERY IMPORTANT to realize that the clinics at Climb Smart are NOT full course days with guides and instructional outfits. The clinics at Climb Smart are designed to be an introductory experience of a topic (or refresher experience)\, in order to facilitate a climber’s decision to move forward in the various disciplines of climbing. It’s one of the great values of the event\, but also important to not convey a sense of overconfidence with skills. Practice takes many days/weeks/months\, and an introductory experience can help set the table for a lifetime of safe\, informed and adventurous climbing outdoors. \nLearn More about Climb Smart \, register here\nhttps://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/0ca5abe9-b4e1-43de-bb30-3ded31222d29

SUMMARY:Learn New Skills-Make New Friends-Experience New Adventure
DESCRIPTION:Learn New Skills-Make New Friends-Experience New Adventure\nDetails\nInformational Posting Only – See Website at www.wildernesstravelcourse.org\nINFORMATIONAL POSTING ONLY\nwww.wildernesstravelcourse.org\nDear Group Members\, particularly the recent swell of new\, never-been-backpacking-before-but-want-to-start members: There is a great Sierra Club opportunity that is about to begin….an opportunity that only happens one time each year and it is one of the best outdoor learning experiences the Sierra Club has to offer. This is the Angeles Chapter Wilderness Travel Course (WTC). Some of you have taken the course and are now leaders and/or knowledgeable hikers. For those of you who have not\, enrollment in WTC is something you should consider now. The Wilderness Travel Course helps build outdoor skills so hikers can be safe in the backcountry. The course runs for ten weeks and includes four field trips (two one day and two weekend outings). Students learn map and compass navigation skills for competently hiking off-trail\, snow travel\, rock scrambling techniques\, first aid\, nutrition and lots more. The course is followed by unforgettable experience backpacking trips most of which take place in the High Sierra\, Sequoia and Yosemite during the summer months.\nWTC moves you from being a day hiker to a more serious adventurer. You will acquire skills in trip planning\, preparation\, equipment and wilderness safety to take you into the backcountry in all seasons\, beyond roads and trails with new friends that share your interest in the outdoors. \nAgain\, the course runs only one time each year and takes place in Southern California in four locations as follows: Long Beach/South Bay (Wednesdays beginning January 8th); San Gabriel Valley (Tuesdays beginning Jan 14th); West Los Angeles (Wednesdays beginning Jan 22nd; Orange County (Tuesdays beginning Jan 28th);\nThe four geographic areas fill up well in advance of the class start date so register early. \nFOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO REGISTER FOR THE COURSE GO TO: www.wildernesstravelcourse.org (http://ww.wildernesstravelcourse.org/)
