The Rambler

If you’re a new member . . . depending on your age and
background . . . you might have a few questions:
1. How do I get involved in activities?
2. What kinds of activities can be organized?
3. What is the average age of WMC members?
4. How many people participate in the activities?
5. How aggressive are the various activity groups?
The answers . . . ask away! Ask someone in the club! Send an e-mail
to wasatchmountainclub@gmail.com or call someone from the governing
board (inside front cover). The average age is...honestly, we
don’t know. Why don’t we know? 1. We haven’t yet started tracking
that information. 2. It doesn’t matter. There are older folks who can
out-hike/-bike/-paddle any younger person. There are also younger
people who like to do light activities. Sometimes tons of people
show up for activities; sometimes only a couple. This is the nice
thing.
The WMC activities allow for flexibility; if you can show up, do--if
you can’t, don’t. As for how vigorous and aggressive the various
activities and groups are (hikers, bikers, etc), contact the director
or coordinator. Please don’t feel like you can’t organize an activity
if you don’t know your way around. There are so many people who
can help you, and you can even decide on a destination at the time
of meeting! You might have one or two awkward activities, but just
get together with people who share the same interests as you, and
you’ll be on your way to tons of fun and excitement--things you
never thought were possible!
