Social events

The club meets twice a month in The Devereux from 7.30pm on the first Tuesday and third Tuesday of each month. On the third Tuesday of the month we try to organise a talk / lecture of some kind and therefore can be found upstairs in the function room (on the left side of the bar as you walk in).

The Devereux does a good range of pub food up until 9pm if you want to get sometihng to eat.

Slideshows

Our slideshows are usually by members although occasionally we have invited speakers from outside the club. These cover a wide range of climbing and walking topics from trips our members have been on to lectures by notable climbers and mountaineers. The show starts at 8pm and will generally finish about 9.30pm. See the list below for up and coming shows.

Indoor wall meets

Some Club members meet at London's indoor climbing walls most days of most weeks so come along on a Tuesday and ask where folk are likely to be. Members often use the club email system to organise meets at the walls. Our Climbers' Rep will arrange regular meets, or can put you in touch with other members at different walls. You can email the climbers rep for further information via the contacts page or just pop along to one of the social pub nights.

Other events

We also arrange other one-off social events, such as the odd curry evening, cinema/lecture night, occasional day walks and even ice-skating!

Any problems with finding us or for info then please email the Social Secretary via the contacts page.

Speaker

17th January Scandinavian Odysey
A presentation of a 3 month campervan trip during the summer of 2011 travelling through Denmark/Sweden Finland and Norway. The show will concentrate on the landscapes of the region particularly north of the Arctic circle in the land of the midnight sun. Highlighting on walks and treks made including ascents of the highrest peaks in Finland and Sweden, walking peaks in the Lofoton and short 2-4 day backpacking trips in National parks.

21st February 6380 Metres...
Mera peak in Nepal is 6470 metres high and as Nepal's highest trekking peak is often attempted but not often summited. After a gruelling 70 mile trek to base camp in heavy snow, with various mishaps along the way we made our way to advance base camp. The summit attempt was hampered by temper tantrums, snow bridged crevasses and a race with an Australian sex maniac and his groupies. The return to Lukla, was even more exciting, crossing high narrow passes unroped in heavy snow. A fall here would have meant certain death, if they ever found your body. Can this all be true, well come along to the Deveraux and find out.

20th March Kyajo Ri - 6,186m
An account of a CC trip to one of Nepal’s ‘A’ list trekking peaks, in Mahalangur area – west of Namche Bazaar. The group (with mainly a pitiful lack of greater ranges experience) without support above base camp at 5,350m attempted the voie normale which (depending on which website you look at) is given AD+ to D+. Also the comical results of a week’s bad weather in Lukla on the way out, resulting in a 4˝ day trek to Shivalaya, for a twelve hour bus ride to Kathmandu, and an awkward conversation with the boss as to why I was four days late getting into work.
