Welcome to Carlisle Mountaineering Club!

The club currently has over 100 members, from a wide range of backgrounds and ages, who are involved in a wide range of mountain activities, so there's always something going on to suit all tastes! These range from scrambling, climbing and mountaineering in the spring and summer, to winter snow and ice climbing, and alpinism for the more adventurous. If that sounds too strenuous, or the weather's awful, then some of us just go for a walk!

During spring and summer we have meets every other weekend, with climbing meets on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, or Penrith climbing wall in the winter months. We also have a climbing meet away most months, of two days or more, which usually involves staying in a climbing hut, camping barn or lodge. During the winter we have very popular meets in the Cairngorms, Glen Coe or Ben Nevis areas.

We also have our own club hut in Newlands valley, in the heart of the Lake District, which is available for members to book.

Happy climbing!
