UCD Mountaineering Club

When?? 27th and 28th of February

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......

Tues 13th, 17:00 at the wall is the date, time and place for this years comp and it's going to be unreal. Routes set by the amazing committee for your fun and frustration! We'll also have the nice folks from The Great Outdoors down giving our freshers a nice deal on some new shoes or harnesses, whatever you need to get started!

The first Irish Bouldering League round of the year. It takes place in DCU. Always a fun event, the league caters for all levels be you a beginner or well seasoned expert! Get down to the event, meet other climbers and complain about sore limbs or whatever else you boulderers do!

Here, UCDMC will place its honour on the line. UCDMC will compete in an epic battle against the other colleges of Ireland to establish who's best.

Assuming it's not raining, the club will be heading to Dublin's road side crag, Dalkey Quarry. Here you'll hopefully have an opportunity to try your hand at some outdoor climbing. More detail soon...

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).
