Activities and Outings Skill Level Rating Codes

The Angeles Chapter Safety Committee has established the

following classifications for all chapter-sponsored outings to

differentiate the levels of skill required of participants and

event leaders. Classifications do not relate to outing

strenuousness.

C -- Events conducted by a non-Sierra Club entity (e.g.,

concessionaire).

O -- Uncomplicated outings such as city walks, bike rides, trail

hikes, backpacking. May involve simple off-trail hiking not requiring navigation skills. Climbing level: Class 1 terrain.

O-2 -- An “O” backpack.

I -- Outings that involve cross-country travel where navigation

is necessary. Rougher ground than O outings may be traversed,

and the use of hands for balance may be necessary. Includes

outings that have snow travel or skiing on easy terrain.

Climbing level: Class 2 terrain.

M -- Moderate-level climbing: Class 3 terrain. On rock, the

hands are used for climbing. Some participants may want a

safety belay. On snow, safety dictates the use of ice axes and

the ability to self-arrest. MR: “M” + Restricted. E -- More exposed than M outings. Climbing on Class 4

terrain. Rock climbs will use a rope for all in the party. On

snow, steeper terrain than M outings is permissible, and safety

dictates the use of crampons. ER: “E” + restricted.

T -- Technical outings requiring specialized skills as identified

in the sponsoring group’s safety policy.
