Socials
We host a number of socials throughout term time, which are open to both members and non-members alike! These are announced on our social pages on WhatsApp and Instagram, as well as our weekly emails (sent to our members) so pay attention for the latest news and updates. Some last minute changes can occur, so it is always important to check the latest information to make sure you don't miss something! On top of our weekly socials, we also hold some weekly sessions in the climbing centre, and a weekly run.
Club Run
Running is an excellent activity to get active and enjoy the outdoors, as well as improving your fitness for the hills! Nobody likes huffing and puffing their way up a hill, and running is a great way to allow yourself to enjoy your trips to the mountains more.
We hold Club Run on Tuesdays, typically around 17:30 (although this can change due to exec meetings/socials, so do check). We meet at the sports hub and complete a loop of approximately 7.5km, at a pace varying from 6:20/km to 5:20/km. We'd be happy to have you!
Club Climb
Climbing is one of the best ways to improve your technique for scrambling and mountaineering! From better foot placement on long ridges to an understanding of body position on technical scrambles, climbing is an activity which is excellent for improving your mountaineering skill, and translates excellently to your time with us on the mountains! We encourage anybody interested in mountaineering or scrambling to get involved in some climbing, indoor or outdoor, as the difference in confidence it creates is incredible.
To help with this, we hold weekly club climb sessions, usually on Mondays (with some other days thrown in). Some of these sessions can be rather spur of the moment, so it's important to watch the weekly email and the WhatsApp for the climbing sessions for the week.
Please Note: We do not currently have our own designated session in the climbing centre, so we instead tag along to the climbing club's climbing sessions instead. This makes the climbing club membership the cheapest way to get involved. Some of these sessions will come with free equipment hire if you are part of the climbing club, however we can not guarantee this. To find out more, please email our Club Captain.
5-a-side Football
Last year saw the successful (though less so on the pitch) introduction of a weekly 5-a-side football team to Warwick Mountains, spearheaded by our Club Co-Captain Sam. The team is a great way to socialise and meet new people within Mountains, as well as enjoy some fun physical exercise! We do not have trials, and will happily take any member who expresses an interest in playing football, whether you are Messi reincarnated or have never kicked a ball before.
Games last about 40 minutes and last year took place on a Wednesday evening, though this is likely to change. If you are interested, either speak to Sam or request to join the 5-a-side chat on our Whatsapp group.
