Karabiner Mountaineering Club

Lectures, Talks and Slide Shows 2010

Over the winter season the KMC hosts a series of lectures, talks and slideshows. The talks are given by a mixture of club members and external speakers.

The programme for the 2009/2010 series is as follows:


Big Wall Climbing

by Dan O'Brien

A slideshow and lecture from club member Dan O'Brien, about big wall climbing around the world.


The Big Stone    The Big Stone - S@#tting In A Bag And Other Stories

Alex Haselhurst is relatively new to Aid Climbing but his list of achievements is considerable. Climbing Parliament House Cave on Anglesea in 2009 and a Hammerless ascent of The Shield on El Capitan.

Dan O'Brien is also new to Aid Climbing. He has done bugger-all, but carries a video camera with him often.

Between them an entertaining multi-media extravaganza might just be possible if enough alcohol is imbibed.

This will be held at 8pm on Thursday March 4th 2010 at:

The Britons Protection
