UCD Mountaineering Club

Mountaineering is an umbrella term for a few different activities: Hill-Walking, Scrambling, Rock Climbing, Bouldering and Alpinism. The different activities overlap each other quite a lot and a mountaineer would usually be involved in a few of these disciplines.

This part of the site will tell you a little about these activities so you can keep up with the crowd talking shop in the forum bar after climbing on Tuesdays and Thursdays

UCDMC is involved in all of the activities that we talk about here, as proof we've taken all the photos from people in the club! As a member of the club you can get involved in as many of these as you like. The range of activities available is quite diverse and many people are only active in a particular area. The club has lots of people who mostly hike, mostly climb and then others who get involved in everything.

In order to get involved in some these activities you would need a considerable level of experience, don't be put of by that. Everybody starts in the same place and learns the same tricks, even the oldies learn a few new tricks sometimes!
