Monday Sept 30th @ 7PM: Informational Meeting & First Practice [Open to All]
Stanford Alpine Club is having its first practice Monday, September 30th from 7-10pm. The first hour will be an informational overview about the club, membership benefits, and some of the super cool things we have going on this year. After that, we will have our first Monday night practice, a SAC exclusive time in the Stanford climbing gym that happens every Monday. Both of these events are open to anyone interested in the club.
This is a great chance to have your questions about the club answered and socialize with other new members.
REMINDER: In order to rope climb, you’ll need to go through the standard belay check at the Stanford gym, and be RECERTIFIED each year. Please obtain this ahead of the first practice in the gym (Monday September 30) as we will not offer belay certifications during practice. Please refer to the Stanford AOERC Climbing website to schedule a lead belay certification.
Monday Night Practices at the AOERC climbing wall from 9-11 pm
Monday Night Practices:
Starting Monday, September 30th, we are resuming practices for members every Monday night from 9-11pm at the AOERC climbing wall!
In case you’ve forgotten what practices are… they’re a great time to unplug from life, and come climb with your fellow SAC teammates! Find a new climbing partner, get that beta you’ve been gunning for, send your gym project, plan a trip.

Adventure Programs at Stanford is restarting their Climber Coffee Meetups from last year!
Much like Yosemite, Joshua Tree, and other national parks with climbing, we are starting our own climber coffee meet ups the first Tuesday of each month from 8:00am – 10:00am in the Outdoor Center. This is a great time for folks to come together and talk climbing, trip planning, meet other climbers, and enjoy free coffee.
This is open to anyone regardless of climbing experience.
Also note, the climbing will is also open from 8-10 am on Thursday, so head to the AOERC and get both your climbing and your coffee fix at the same place!
Please reach out to Dan, Climbing Coordinator (dearhart@stanford.edu) with questions.
