Rock - climbing

The main feature of club events is rock climbing. This can be in the form of leading (as in the picture) or top-roping.

Here, Tom climbs Crack and Corner at the Roaches.

Mountaineering

Generally a mixture of mountain walking and ice climbing, this is the activity from which the club takes its name, and with good reason.

Shaggy and Will demonstrate in Scotland - the club's big trip of the year.

Ice - climbing

The picture says it all - this is seriously good fun; extreme sport at its most exhilirating! We organise several ice climbing trips throughout the year, technical kit provided.

Speak to Andy, he'll sort you out.

Bouldering

Bouldering is low level climbing, on short hard "problems".

It is a great way to develop technique, as well as being a sport in its own right

Indoor Climbing

On Wednesday afternoons, the club meet down at the Creation Climbing Centre. There is a wide selection of bouldering, top roping and leading routes - but the climbing is always intertwined with some hardcore socialising.

Training

Climbing is great fun but can be dangerous if people are not properly trained.

The club subsidises all manner of training, from basic first aid and rope work, to SPA and mountain safety.

Dressing up (2)

Far more than once a year, the Club is often involved in fancy dress. This may be with other clubs on the Uni's "Sports Night" or purely on our own.

In this picture, Sazzle and Jules demonstrate the "sea theme".

Bra Wrestling

A very lighthearted sport but something very close to UBMC hearts. Generally involves a lot of laughing.

Dancing

Not a traditional strongpoint of climbing clubs, but UBMC fully endorses dancing. The ability levels very low, but the commitment is definitely there.
