Outdoor Climbing
We welcome new members at all levels of experience.
We have climbers active at Sport grades from 5 to 6c and Trad grades from Severe to E2, with most in the VS-E1 range. We also have a team of newer recruits sharpening their skills in the VDiff to HS range.
The club’s climbing activities revolve around the regular monthly meets as well as more informal weekend trips. The MMC climbs throughout the UK, from Cornwall to Scotland, as well as venturing to Europe in search of winter sunshine or summer alpinism. There are usually one or two trips per year to boulder at Fontainebleau.
In the winter, the emphasis moves to mountaineering and ice climbing. In the past members have organised ice climbing trips to places like Cogne, the Les Ecrins, Chamonix and Colorado, as well as making the occasional foray in to Scotland when conditions are good.

Also, we ask, if you are a complete beginner that you attend a basic course showing you how to tie in and belay safely. These are available at the Westway and the Castle.
The most popular centres with MMC members are the Westway and the Castle climbing walls. For an excellent overview of all the centres that London has to offer see the London Climbing Guide.
