We are dedicated to helping our members plan safe, quality trips at an affordable price.  We do this using our years of knowledge and the Gear Cave.

How Can We Help?

Over the years UCMC has sent trips all over the country and even across the world.  One of our many goals is to pass on the knowledge gained from this and hopefully inspire the next generation of UC Mountaineers.  Whether you're a beginner trying to step it up a notch or a master wanting to teach others or test your skills we're here to help you plan your trips and, if wanted, point you towards new destinations.  

The UC Mountaineering Club is always looking for new trip leaders and happy to help you plan, if you have any questions about a trip idea, feel free to reach out to any UCMC Exec Member and we're happy to help!

"A person decides where they want to go, asks others to come along, they all decide who is going to drive, how long they can afford to be away from work and school, and off they go."
