Upcoming Climbing Club Meets
Carlisle Mountaineering Club is a club with a large membership and a small core of very active members. We organise a range of meets for evenings in the North Lakes and Eden Valley. Weekends and day meets happen mostly in the Lakes, Borders, North Yorkshire, The Peak District and North Wales. During the winter there are usually 3 meets in Scotland, which make use of holiday chalets and climbing huts.
