EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Indoor Rock Climbing (Saturday After Conference)
Planet Granite Sunnyvale
815 Stewart Drive Sunnyvale California 94085 (408) 991-9090 https://planetgranite.com/sv Open Saturday from 8am to 8pm
$28 to climb at gym $7 for shoes and harness
We will be meeting with some experienced rock climbers through the Palmer West Rock Climbing Club as well as Dr. Gary Mitchell who will be there to assist. We will have limited time since the conference ends at 6:00pm so it is recommended considering meeting at the gym at 6:45pm and making sure to go online in advance to fill out a climbing waiver to increase your climbing time since the gym closes at 8:00pm.
Misson Peak Climb (Sunday After Conference)
Enjoy the spectacular views of the South bay as you climb up to Mission Peak. Although steep, the views of the Bay Area are very rewarding. On a clear day hikers can see the skylines of Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose. This is a strenuous trail with a constant uphill climb until you reach the summit. You will need to wear athletic shoe wear or comfortable hiking boots, bring water, and a flashlight for the return journey downhill.
The East Bay Park District guideline says it takes up to 3-4 hours to reach the summit . For some people that may be optimistic. It is a STEEP hike. Mission Peak rises 2,517 feet above sea level, and the longest trail to get to the top from Ohlone College, is a little over 3 and a half miles. Coming down is a much quicker event. This is a hike to remember and significantly challenging.
Fit hikers should have not problem with this 6 mile hike, and beginners in reasonable shape may find the ascent tough, but manageable, with proper pacing and plenty of water. Hikes at Mission Peaks are best taken on cool days and October 27, 2019 should be fine, if it isn’t raining. https://ebparks.org/parks/mission/
