Hi Patrick, thank so much for responding; you are a perfect case in point: an ideal candidate that has been put off by "words." I am taking the liberty of...
Hi All Like Patrick, I am lurking on the yahoo site....and I too was intimidated by the CMC process... I'm a relatively new climber but am comfortable now...
Hi Tony, here is another historical quote that might fit the situation: "General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet...
Thanks Tony. Such a stance would allow, for instance, my wife to become a provisional member so that we could attend CMC outings together, even though she is...
Hello All, Hi My Name is Munish, I am a new provisional member. I have been reading this discussion and in my humble opinion I think there are lot of climbers...

Hi, I have been forwarding the messages regarding membership etc. to the CMC board. The board will meet this Wednesday (11/14/07). If you have any suggestions...

To whom it may concern, Rewarding leader/organizers would inspire/motivate members to become active, and would not break the bank account. Sincerely, Steve...
Hi there, I"m a lurker, and I think this group is great. I've been working toward mountaineering for a while, and I can't wait to go on a trip with you. Until ...
