THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MOUNTAINEERS ASSOCIATION (SCMA), with 200+ members, hosts trips almost every weekend throughout the year to Joshua Tree, Tahquitz/Suicide, Yosemite, Courtright Reservoir, Mt. Whitney, the Palisades, The Needles, Church Domes, the Southern Sierra, Mexico, Red Rocks and Christmas Tree Pass, Nevada, and more.

The SCMA was founded in 1986 to provide an organization for meeting other experienced climbers of all abilities, to promote our sport and to foster safe climbing. The SCMA evolved from the Rock Climbing section of the Sierra Club, making us one of the oldest climbing clubs in the nation.

General meetings are held at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every other month (Jan, Mar, May, July, Sept, Nov,) in the Park Ranger's Headquarters at Griffith Park, 4730 Crystal Springs Drive (MAP). The meetings are free, open to the public, and feature speakers, films, and slide shows on climbing and mountaineering. Come on down and say hello!

Annual dues for membership are $45, and include all campsite fees and our monthly newsletter, Cliffnotes.
