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 in the Sierra
Nevada.
The Section offers a varied
schedule of climbing activities
during the climbing season
ranging from introductory
trips
for beginning climbers
and Wilderness Training Course
graduates
to multi-day
backpacks
that
may
require
extensive mountaineering
skills in rock and snow
climbing.
The Section
will be many Outings
or co-sponsored Outings during
the balance of the 2007
Sierra Nevada climbing season.
You are encouraged to participate
in one or more of the outings,
enjoy the mountains, make
new friends and climb with
old friends. |

A stormy afternoon in the high peaks of the southern Sierra Nevada. A
view of the east face of Lone Pine Peak (12,944') from Tuttle Creek Campground. This peak is located east of the main crest in the southern Sierra Nevada overlooking Lone Pine, CA. A discussion
of climbing routes can
be found on pages 52 through 58 of The
High Sierra: Peaks, Passes
and Trails,
2nd Edition by SPS member
R. J. Secor. This peak is generally approached from the north side via the Meysan Creek trail. Picture taken
by Sara Danta, SPS Newsletter Editor in the Autumn of 2007. In this photograph the summit of Mount LeConte (13,960) lies immediately to the right of Lone Pine Peak. Its summit is obscured by clouds.
