Mountaineering

About us


If you have an interest in the outdoors, then this is where you belong! We are very inclusive and do not have a minimum level of fitness to join!

We run lots of trips ranging from day excursions to weekend trips, and these are always priced cheaply costing just enough to cover accommodation and transport. Trips vary from climbing, hiking/walking, caving, ghyll scrambling, navigation, and winter climbing; so, there is a large variety of trips to go on for everybody.

Weekly sessions from October 2023:

Monday nights - We climb at Boulder UK on a Monday Night. Currently you need to provide your own transport to the wall, or see if anyone is offering a lift.

Wednesday - On Wednesdays we all meet at Preston Wall at 1pm!

(For cheaper entry to club climbing sessions please make sure you have pre-purchased a ticket from our SU page, or you will be charged the standard wall entry price)

Socials - Socials are held every Wednesday night and vary from joint nights/climbs with other university mountaineering clubs to themed nights out. Not all are drinking so do not be put off, it is a fantastic way to meet new members and make new friends. Information regarding the social will be sent out the week before, giving you loads of time to prepare for it.

There will be a variety of trips throughout the academic year, so keep an eye on our Facebook group and the SU page for updates. Please ensure you are a registered UMC member for access to all the events :)

Student Group By-Elections 2024

Every year our Student Groups elect a new team of students to take their group into the new academic year. Being on a committee is a great way to become more involved with the community at UCLan, meet new friends and develop new and existing skills for your CV. Anyone can be on a committee, as long as you are a member of your Student Group. Students that are elected onto a committee through this election will start their role on 1st August 2024 until 31st July 2025. Could you be the next leader of your Student Group? Please note this is the final opportunity to become a Student Group committee member for this academic year.
