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 opposite 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. Keith our Climbers' Rep arranges meets, normally on Thursdays at the West Way. You can email Keith via the contacts page who will give you further information.

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.

Ice Climbing in Norway
Fearless Ice Warriors descend on Rjukan in a raid the likes of which hasn't been seen since the Heroes of Telemark!. Well, actually this is an account of a trip by six Rockhoppers to a popular venue in Norway that has steep ice climbing on road-side ice-falls with crag-like accessibility.

Ski Touring the 'Haute Route'
The Chamonix-Zermatt 'Haute Route' is one of the best known high-level hut to hut ski tours in the Alps. The line known as the 'Classic' Haute Route was first skied in 1911 and it remains the most popular way of doing the tour. This slide show describes a traverse made this year by a slightly harder and longer variation. We covered around 120 km over 7 days of skiing with a total ascent/descent of around 8000 metres, staying in Alpine huts along the way.

Trekking in NW Pakistan
Following on from the China slide show earlier in the year here is another 'T' inspired trip of a few years back.

The first week or so were spent on an unfrequented trek in a remote part of north-western Pakistan, close to the Afghanistan and Chinese borders. The second half was based at Fairy Meadow, beneath Nanga Parbat (one of the 14 8,000'ers,close to Kashmir), with attempts made at two of its sub 6,000 metre satellites.

Highlights of the trip include: a hairy 15 hour minibus ride up the Karakoram Highway, avoiding potholes and landslides; experiencing Gilgit high street where absolutely anything can be obtained (but no Starbucks!); Phil bringing our Guide 'back from the dead' through his array of 'smarties'; Warwick actually overtaking one of our Sherpas; (I know, hard to believe)

..............and much more besides
