The beginner's bouldering competition is on this Tuesday 28th, 5-7pm. We're going to the bar afterwards for refreshments and prize giving, then into town! There'll be about 20 short routes with something for everyone so don't be daunted, come along and give it a go the focus of the night is on introducing beginners to the fun of bouldering!

There will be male and female categories, and prizes for winners and runners-up such as chalk bags, DVDs etc. As if that wasn't enough, the Great Outdoors will set up a stall at the wall with discounts of up to 25% on all kinds of gear. There will be a raffle with some amazing prizes such as a 60m treated rope.

There'll also be a non-beginner competition (male and female categories) to keep the oldies interested (no prizes except rights to slag off the route setters when you onsight the entire competition).

Lugnacoille, the highest mountain in the Wicklow range and the highest in Leinster will be attempted by the club on this date. Standing tall, at a lofty 925m above sea level, rumour has it that on a clear day you can see Mont Blanc from the summit. Lugnacoille is the quintessential Wicklow mountain; flat, boggy and old. The hike will border the Glen of Imaal Artillery range, that's for information purposes by the way, (you can leave the helmets at home). Anyway we'll be making the classic UCD maneuver; start at Fraughan Rock Glen and end in Fenton's, that's a pub - see where we're going with this ... ?

Our first movie night is on Thursday 6th Nov in the Blue Room in the Students' Centre. It's an excuse to chill out, socialise, and laugh at a Hollywood movie! Starts at 7.15pm (ish). Bring your own refreshments!

This Sunday's hike will take place from the Wicklow Gap across Turlough Hill, over to Conavalla and then down to Glenmalure. This hike is an excellent opportunity to test your navigational skills if you have not already signed up for Mountain Skills as we will attempt to find Lough Firrib and Art's Cross on our way. These are notoriously difficult to find. Indeed, one can be 10 metres away from Lough Firrib on a perfectly clear day and still not see it. Remember to wrap up well with fleeces, boots and waterproofs.

Meeting Points 10 o'clock at Earlsfort Terrace and 10.15 at Jury's Montrose

We're hosting an intercollegiate meet in the IMC hut, Nov 21-23rd! Last year it was held by QUB and great craic so it's our turn this year. It's a chance to meet, hike, climb and drink with people from university clubs from around the country. The plan is to head down Friday night, then depending on the weather go climbing / hiking / bouldering.

We'll have copies of all the maps, topos, and guides of the area for everyone to get the most out of the area so if you've never been, or a Glendo veteran, it's going to be a great weekend.

All you need is food, beer, a sleeping bag and mat, and money for the pub and hut. There's room for camping too.

More details to follow. Spread word to the other clubs, read about it in the forum here!
