Who & where we are

We are a West London based mountaineering club which welcomes climbers of all abilities,

including beginners. The HMC consists of about thirty members and some of us gather at the

 Brunel University Climbing wall in Uxbridge on Tuesday nights. Just turn up and introduce yourself.

 Look out for members wearing club t-shirts. If you want more information on the Brunel Wall

 call the sports centre on 01895 265305 or see the map. After we've spent time falling off the

 wall we go to the Pipe Makers Arms in Rockingham Road in Uxbridge to discuss the weekend's

activities. You can find us in the pub from about 10 'o' clock onwards.

   

What we do

As our name suggests we are a general Mountaineering Club and we cater for all, from the

enthusiastic walkers, through to keen mountaineers, rock & ice climbers and even

fell runners. We spend most of the summer months visiting the various rock climbing

venues around the country rather than the bigger mountain ranges. We have an organised

club 'meet' every month and this usually involves camping or in the colder months a hut

meet or two. Check out the 2007 meets list (see left) for what's happening throughout

this year.

   

How to join us

You must be at least 18 years of age but apart from that there really is no other criteria. As

stated above we welcome people of all abilities, including beginners. If you want a formal

climbing course then I'm afraid that we won't be the club for you, but the more experienced

members are usually happy to take beginners out. It is strongly recommended that you

purchase a helmet if you don't already have one, it's essential equipment!

Getting involved really is as simple as meeting up with us either at the climbing wall (details

above) or coming to the Pipe Makers arms, Uxbridge on a Tuesday nigh after 10 'o' clock.

   

Benefits of joining

Your membership will include an Affiliated BMC membership, which covers you for third

party insurance. Membership is usually annual , renewable in January each year. Club

members get discounts in many outdoor gear shops across the UK, typically 10%. As

a club affiliated to the BMC we are able to book mountaineering huts in the UK for the

meets in the winter when the weather is not so predictable.

 

 

Contacts & how to find us

Please contact Steve on 01923 248003 or Linda on 01753 574139 for more information. We'll

try to answer any questions you may have. Some members will be  at the climbing wall

at the Brunel University sports centre Uxbridge on Tuesday nights after around 8 'o' clock.

Look out for club t-shirts, or just ask and you'll find us.
