Welcome to the KMC, the centrally based Manchester mountaineering, rock climbing and walking 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.

Rain permitting, we're out climbing on Wednesday evenings. Future venues are decided each week by the people who turn up at the nominated crag. If you want to join in, just turn up - you don't have to be a member to come along!
Newcomers are always welcome to come along to the club. If you'd like to come on one of our weekend meets and want to double-check the details beforehand, please get in touch with one of the KMC Contacts. Alternatively, you can meet us at the pub in Manchester. It is best to come along on the first Thursday of the month, to the The Britons Protection at 50 Great Bridgewater Street, from around 9:30pm.
Our Picture Gallery contains photographs of club members rock climbing, walking, mountaineering and generally doing (vaguely) outdoor activities. 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... (Videos too)
The club owns a very fine mountain hut near Llanberis in Snowdonia, North Wales. We frequently hold 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.
