Winter Skills Course Tickets 

These tickets are for the courses. If you are unsure which course you are on, you can check your name is on the list under the ticket.

Please ensure you are checking your university emails over Christmas, especially in the week before the trip. If you aren't receiving club emails please message Jana Rychnovsky on Facebook or email lumcclimbing@gmail.com so we can check! 

Kit List:

Here is a reminder of the Kit list:

As always, please ask if you still need to borrow something as someone might be able to help you out. If we don’t have something you can borrow, it’s possible another member might be happy to lend you something.

Whilst I know this may seem obvious, it is likely to be VERY COLD so please bring lots of layers. It’s also likely your clothes will get wet, so bring changes of clothes too!

In addition to what is below Campers must have the suitable gear to be camping in January (Including tent, roll matt and sleeping bags). You may be able to borrow some kit from the club, if so please message Will Rhodes or Matt Fleming on Facebook or email lumcclimbing@gmail.com
