What we’re about
WMC Canyoneering Organizers use this meetup.com group for event participation management (the "going" list, the "waitlist", the "Not Going" list) and for easy event communications (notifications, comments, emails).
Historically the WMC used this meetup group to make perspective WMC members aware that the WMC was much more than a hiking, climbing, biking, ... organization. Since April 2020 it has been used exclusively by the WMC Canyoneers. Hence to revive the original perspective we've created the new meetup.com group Discover the Wasatch Mountain Club, and we encourage you to join it, and the WMC.
https://www.wasatchmountainclub.org is the official website for the WMC. To see this month's activities visit the WMC Activity Calendar. The WMC is for individuals interested in safely participating in outdoor activities, wilderness preservation across the Wasatch Mountains and beyond, and socializing with other like minded individuals. It was incorporated in 1920 and is now 100 years old!

This will help us ensure that everyone has a fair chance to participate and make the most of our events. Let's all do our part to keep our community respectful and considerate of one another. Thank you!
Come participate in a run through Hidden Falls. The trail is a shorter one. Some creek walking to a gorgeous waterfall rappel. There is little elevation gain from the trailhead to the waterfall however make sure you bring water and snacks.
Priority will be given to those who have not attended Waterfall Wednesday in the past. This is an intermediate level canyon because it’s a Class-CI Rated Canyon. We will be rappelling on a very slippery surface.

Optional Equipment: webbing, quick links, pocket knife, figure 8 or other blocking device, rope, VT prusiks or ascending device.

Hello everyone, I'm excited to be organizing this trip to Zion! The weekend will consist of two canyons I haven't done yet... Lodge(Saturday 27th) and Englestead(Sunday 29th). I'm opening this trip up to 4 participants and a co-leader. I have already purchased the permits for these dates and after the participants are put on the going list, we will be splitting the cost of the permits.
This isn't a trip for beginners. There is a vetting process. I'm requiring a L1 Certification or higher, or comparable skills and experience.

Englestead 3B IV-http://bluugnome.com/cyn_route/zion/zion_englestead/zion-englestead.aspxThere will be a zoom call two weeks prior to the event where we will talk all logistics of the event (transportation, camping, group gear, and everything else).
This is a weekend trip and we will be camping near Zion National Park on blm grounds on friday and saturday night. So everyone will need their own camping gear etc. or if not camping, secure accommodations.
