Welcome to the KMC, the centrally based Manchester climbing and mountaineering
club. We are a very active club, with regular outdoor meets
nearly every weekend throughout the year. We generally go rock climbing
during the summer, with walking, scrambling and winter mountaineering during
the cooler months.
The Club's May 2008 newsletter is out, with
full details of our upcoming meets and reports on our recent ones. Newsletters
are produced roughly every two months, to keep members informed of the goings on.
They are a good starting point for prospective members to get a "feel" of
the club.
The KMC Midweek Climbing Meets have continued roughly every two
weeks throughout the winter. With the arrival of BST, it should now be possible to
get routes done before it actually goes dark. The crag and date for an evening meet
will be chosen by the keen people who got out and climbed on the previous one.
Our Picture Gallery contains photographs of club members rock
climbing, walking, mountaineering and generally doing (vaguely) outdoor activities.
The winners from the 2008 KMC Photograph Competition
are also now on show. The picture archives go back for several years and might give you
some idea of the sort of things the Karabiner Club gets up to...
If you'd like to come on one of our weekend meets and want to double-check the
details beforehand, then you can join us at the Pub in Manchester on a Thursday night.
We meet at the Crown and Anchor on Hilton Street from around 9:30pm, to
finalise plans for the coming weekend's activities. See the Pub
Meets page for more details. Newcomers are always welcome - just come along and
say "Hi"! Alternatively, if you can't make it to the pub, you can get
in touch with one of the KMC Contacts.
The club owns a very fine mountain hut near Llanberis
in Snowdonia, North Wales. We frequently holds meets there, and it can
also be booked by outside groups. The hut is ideally placed for climbers who
enjoy the delights of the local slate quarries, as well as being next to some
of the best rock climbing and mountaineering locations in the UK.
If you've got to the point where you are interested in joining the KMC - whether you
are into rock climbing, walking, scrambling or mountaineering - then have a look at the
Karabiner Mountaineering Club Notes on Membership
