Tom you have done such an amazing job this year of putting CMC into the light of the climbing community. Its staggering how much effort it must take to keep...
Hi Harrison, thanks for the support! I sent Maureen an e-mail the other day to take her up on her offer of guiding info regarding Orizaba. I've got her phone...
Hi All, Attaining summits are Rewards from Incentives. May there be Incentives to becoming "regular" members and Leader/Organizers. Appropriate "perks"...
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...
I really don't have a dog in this fight, but thought I would contribute my 2 cents. First of all, Tom I think you are doing a great job. I am an ex board...
I am not a member, however I have been active on and off for about 30 years in moderate rock climbing, alpine ascents and backcountry ski tours. I like many...
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...
Personally I think that its about the trip not the membership. Anyone should be able to join the club. And why not. No harm done in joining. It is up to the...
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 ...
Dear CMC-Board, David makes a compelling case against the $50 gift certificate idea. Sincerely, Tom Cronin "David J. Housman" <dhousman@...> wrote: To:...
I concur with David. The Loma Prieta Chapter PCS group seems to have a number of leaders for various classifications of trips. Individuals are checked on...
"Rewards" and "bank account" are not just money. What are your ideas?! What would get you to give a little?! Where have you been? Do negative personal critics...
Timely thread as I recently joined the group for many of the reasons already stated but mainly, to find a like-minded group of people who want to learn about...
I have been leading trips for along time. For free and for money. Either way its a ton of responsibility. I have also been director of a club for many years...

Cardinal Pinnacle...just up the road from the Happy's is a great piece of granite....it's in aspendell....and there is great camping all along the river. ...
Hi Tom, We were having similar thoughts on Bishop that week and thinking of Owens River Gorge. I'm the only climber on the planet that's never climbed there....
Although I have not met, nor had the opportunity to climb with anyone from the group, I present an invitation for a winter ascent of Mt Whitney. Myself and a...
Wow! The Iztaccihuatl trip is a great idea. IS four days at elevation enough to try 18000 plus? I have only been to 17835 and that was with two weeks...
