Do you enjoy the great outdoors, fresh air and regular hiking trips? Or perhaps you prefer competitive and/or non competitive bouldering or rope climbing? Or maybe you just want to meet new people and join us at our socials? Well we think you’d love Keele Mountaineering Club!

From climbing step ladders, to taking on V7s, all experience levels are welcome! Whether you want to train hard and strive to get better, or just want a fun way to get fit and make friends, everyone is invited to get involved! 

Our membership cost includes British Mountaineering Council (BMC) membership, which offers insurance for outdoor activities with and without the club, as well as access to festivals, discounts for some brands, and much more! 

Below is our planned weekly schedule for this year, but lots of people join for just the hikes, just the climbing, or just the socials!

Wednesday:   Bouldering at Awesome Walls Stoke 🧗, and a Social with a theme (SU or Newcastle) 🍺🍹

Thursday:   Roped Climbing or Bouldering at Kilnworx Climbing Center 🧗

Saturday:   The occasional social event 🍺🍹

Sunday:   Hikes 🥾, Competitions, Outdoor Climbing (ropes/bouldering), or Indoor Climbing 🧗

Transport to and from training will be done through lift sharing, but we will help with organisation so don't worry if you don't know anyone yet! Members also will pay for their own climbing costs. 

We also compete in various competitions throughout the year, open to everyone! From friendly bouldering competitions to competitive ones like Varsity, so if you feel like getting competitive keep an eye out for that!

If mountaineering or hiking is more up your street, we aim to offer lots of day hike trips throughout the year, as well an overnight trip. These will take you to some of the best sights the UK has to offer, from the Peak District or The Lakes, to Snowdonia (Eryri) or even the Cairngorms (Pàirc Nàiseanta a' Mhonaidh Ruaidh) on the overnight trip if we're lucky!!

Tickets for hikes, outdoor climbing, and competitions will be sold through the SU website on a first come first serve basis. These will range in price depending on how much it is to run.

Join the club and take your university experience to the next level and see some epic sights and epic climbs!

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
