Stanford Alpine Club
Announcements
First Meeting on Monday, September 25 from 6-8 pm!! Practices resume Monday, October 2
Week 1 Meeting:
The first meeting will be held in the Outdoor Center on Monday, 9/25 from 6-8 pm. This meeting will serve as an (re)introduction to the club and the officers, and a chance to meet new members. Note that there will not be climbing wall time afterwards, as the climbing wall is closed due to a wall staff meeting.
Anyone who is not a member but wants to learn more about the club is welcome to join!! Invite all your friends, and feel free to come up to the officers afterwards to ask any questions you may have.
Monday Night Practices:
Starting Monday, October 2, 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.
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 October 2) as we will not offer belay certifications during practice. Please refer to the Stanford AOERC Climbing website to schedule a lead belay certification.
2023-2024 Membership:
Being a SAC member gives you access to Yosemite campsites (starting mid-October), subsidized Common Adventure trips, IKON Pass discounts, Monday night practices at the Stanford climbing wall, gear pro-deals, member listserv, fun film screenings and socials.
Head to the Get Involved tab to register! Signing up is super easy for both current and prospective members who are a part of the Stanford community.
If you are a current SAC member, renew your membership by Friday, October 6, to ensure you stay on the roster without interruption.

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.
