The first hike of the new year will be on Feb 7th, the weekend after refreshers day! We'll head somewhere in Wicklow and go for a stroll around the hills. Any new members are welcome to join and we encourage you to check out the gear lists on the website. As ever no runners or jeans will be permitted on the hike and people in unsuitable attire will be refused at the bus.
Bus leaves from Earlsfort Terrace at 10am and The Montrose at 10.15am. Please bring appropriate gear as you will be refused at the bus if wearing runners/ jeans! Where are we going? Its a suprise! Somewhere in Wicklow!
Due to the absence of myself, Dec, Foxy and the amazing Jono this hike will be lead by Dec O' Keefe. Going wherever he decides, he's a harder taskmaster than any of us so bring appropriate gear and prepare for the road less traveled!

The Club's Bouldering Competition will be held this Thursday the 25th of February. There will be routes with something for everyone set by the amazing committee for your fun and frustration!
So come along and give it a go, the focus of the night is showing people the fun of bouldering, and we'll be heading to the bar afterwards so come along if you can!
We had one super weekend last year. This year, it is on in NUIG Galway. There will probably be a crew heading down Friday night. Usually bouldering on the Saturday, Top ropes and leads on the Sunday. And much partying in the evenings. How it works is every college brings millions of people and everybody climbs and has fun. The score for each college is based on their best male,female, beginner male and beginner female, so the more the merrier! We won last year!! So now is our chance to get rid of the big boulder or keep it in the cupboard for another year....... More details on www.nuigmc.com/intervarsities..... Here is a wee taster......

Team deadly + one
