Equipment
Following a substantial grant from the National
Lottery the club has a large amount of new, quality equipment, including
technical ice-axes and crampons. Members
wishing to get a taste for more advanced mountaineering techniques can kit
themselves out for most of our activities, including rock and ice-climbing, and
benefit from the wealth of experience of other club members. On the other
hand the gear-monsters among you might like to just carry some of it around all day just for the hell of
it. We also have maps, guide books and emergency-shelters.

Quotable quotes.........“Crampons:
These are unnecessary on British mountains. They encourage a slovenly technique
and they may lead an incompetent party into an impossible situation from which
they can neither advance nor retreat.” J.E.Q Barford in ‘Climbing in
Britain’ (1946).
Contact John Kay, 'Equipment Secretary' for
further information and gear bookings although a seasonal selection of equipment
makes an appearance on the weekend meets. All available equipment is
listed below. Small loan charges apply to
allow us to maintain this valuable resource.
