STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:
The University of Cincinnati Mountaineering Club (UCMC) is a four season club dedicated to self-awareness and education in the outdoors. We enhance the college experience by providing students with the opportunity to acquire leadership skills, experience team work, build self-confidence and participate in outdoor activities that may otherwise be out of reach. The UCMC takes part in (but is not limited to) cycling, climbing, caving, canoeing, backpacking, mountaineering, white water rafting, skiing , and skydiving. At our weekly meetings we strive to provide slide shows, speakers and educational classes to maintain a high level of interest. Such topics may include first aid, safety, equipment use and care, etc. Mountaineering Club members are also active in environmental issues. Club members plan trips and venture out each weekend. Longer trips are planned for each of the quarter breaks. Beginners receive instruction as they go along. Optionally, the UCMC offers more formal instruction in the form of beginners' courses (caving, climbing, etc.) each quarter. We have around 50 dues paying members and a typical weekly meeting attendance of 20 to 30 people.
Meetings are held every Wednesday
Autumn, Winter & Spring Quarters
7:00 PM in 525 Old Chem
(at the Engineering Quadrangle). Equipment check-in starts at 6:00 at the Equipment Shack near Daniels Hall. Meetings are open to all students/alumni/non-students and typically last 30-45 minutes. Members tell good, bad and ugly of their latest trips, discuss business, and then announce new trips to encourage others to attend.
SUMMER MEETINGS: 7:30 PM at the Gear Shack
Meetings are every other Wednesday- Check Calendar for dates!
The "Real Meeting", as some would say, usually starts a bit after 8:30PM at the Mac's Pizza Pub,
205 West McMillan Street. If you couldn't catch the official meeting be sure to come hang-out at the Mac's.
(under 21 allowed!)
To attend meetings or participate in events you do not have to be a dues paying member. Dues paying members are entitled to the use of Mountaineering Club equipment and use the club library. Club membership for Students is $15.00 per quarter or $45.00 the entire year. Membership for Alumni is $50 per year.
The club also maintains a library containing maps, books, magazines, and newsletters to provide beginners and trip leaders alike with a readily available source of knowledge about the activities we do and about trip leading information. In addition, members receive discounts at local establishments such as Biowheels Bike Shop, Sun and Ski Sports, Rock Quest and Climb Time.
NEW MEMBER POLICY: All new student members must present some proof of student status, and all memberships must be purchased through the Treasurer (Memberships will no longer be sold through equipment personnel). There is a one week period for processing, and all processing must be complete before member status is attained. All students, faculty, staff, and alumni are eligible for membership.
So how do I sign up? Come to a meeting or stop by the UCMC office at the Gear Shack.
