Welcome to the CUMC blog

The Northern Pinnacles of Liathach by Steven Andrews

This is the brand new blog from the Cambridge Mountaineering Club in which we would like to tell a little bit about what we have been up to and share a few photos of our times in the mountains, on the crags and possibly even on some boulders or indoor walls. As a mountaineering club in one of the flattest areas of the UK our more optomistic members suggest that we are ideally placed with all climbing grounds being equally far away, therefore encouraging us to visit a wide range of the fantastic climbing that the UK has to offer. It certainly fosters a very active club with trips leaving most weekends to the Peak District, Wales, the Lake District, the south coast, Scotland and beyond. I hope that members of the club and those interested in how mountaineers survive in the flat lands will enjoy some of the tales we have to tell and the pictures that we have to remind ourselves that the mountains are always there, if not near in distance certainly close at hand in our minds.
