The Club organises both outdoor and indoor events throughout the year. Outdoor events–known as “meets”–tend to be:

• annually-reoccurring,
• weekly-reoccurring, or
• one-off.

Indoor events typically include:

• climbing
• presentations,

Events are for members only, unless otherwise stated; access to these member-only events is one of the benefits of membership.

You can find out the exact details of an event–such as date, time, location and organiser–by checking the Calendar; bear in mind that many events are organised only a week, a few weeks or a few months in advance, so don’t be disheartened if the Calendar looks a bit empty more than six months into the future.

For information about events in general, or to propose an event, please contact our Meets Co-ordinators, Cathy and Cillian (meets@irishmountaineeringclub.org).

Meets and Events

The Club holds a large number of events, both in Ireland and further afield.

You can find out the exact dates of events by checking the Calendar; dates are also usually announced on both public social media and member-only communications channels.

*Note on skill level

Beginner friendly:  Experienced climbers will be available to support inexperienced climbers / new members – no need to arrange partners

Competent lead:  Climbing partners to be pre-arranged. At least one member of each rope needs to be able to competently lead and support any less experienced partners. Liaise with Meet Organiser as necessary.

S – Severe, VS – Very Severe

Weekly reoccurring outdoor events

Every Thursday evening from April to September inclusive, members of the Club meet informally outdoors at Dalkey Quarry, Dublin.

To find a climbing partner, either make arrangements in advance on member-only communications channels, or turn up and make yourself known.

One-off outdoor events

In addition to the annually/weekly reoccurring outdoor events listed above, members often organise other outdoor events.

You can find out the exact dates when these events occur by checking the Calendar; dates are also usually announced on both public social media and member-only communications channels.

Climbing

Members of the Club meet informally indoors:

• Every Tuesday evening at Dublin Climbing Centre (DCC), Dublin.
• Every Thursday evening at Awesome Walls, Dublin.

To find a climbing partner, either make arrangements in advance on member-only communications channels, or turn up and make yourself known.
Note that attendance during summer months will be considerably lower, especially on Thursdays, because many members of the Club meet outdoors instead (see above).

Presentations

During the winter we arrange speakers from inside and outside the Club to present on topics of interest; typically, but not exclusively, these presentations occur online.

These presentations are open to non-members.
You can find out the exact dates when these presentations occur by checking the Calendar for winter months; dates are also usually announced on both public social media and member-only communications channels.
