The Chicago Mountaineering Club was founded in 1940 and has a mission is to promote interest in the sport and craft of mountaineering, foster fellowship among climbers of the Chicago/Midwest area, disseminate mountaineering knowledge and information, develop skill in the climbing techniques of its Members, and sponsor local practice outings and periodic western outings. Membership in the Club is open to anyone who is 18 years of age or older, is interested in climbing/mountaineering and has fulfilled the remaining membership requirements.
The Chicago Mountaineering Club is proud to announce that Colin O'Brady will be our guest speaker at our annual dinner. We hope you will join us on Saturday, March 16th at Brookfield Zoo.
Our next monthly meeting will be held January 14th at First Ascent Avondale in Chicago
The board meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. All club members are welcome to attend.
The general meeting starts at 8:00 p.m. and is open to everyone.
Monday's program will feature none other than our own Doug Hemken, CMC Conservation Chair. Doug’s environmental discussion will include the CMC Campground and Devils Lake in particular and the environment overall. Should make for lively discussion.

To all the members of the CMC:
