The Peak Climbing Section (PCS) is an activity
section of the Loma Prieta Chapter of the Sierra
Club. They're a diverse group brought together by
their love for climbing in the mountains. Their
activities are as varied as the Sierra topography:
they climb rock, snow and ice, crags and high
summits; ski and snowshoe; hike the local hills and
travel abroad to climb. Their main focus, however,
is on nontechnical ascents of peaks in the Sierra Nevada.
