The Mynydd Climbing Club is based in the South Manchester area, with members spread across the UK and beyond. It is a friendly club, with a wide range of members. For more information on how to join or our meets program, see the individual pages in the menus above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This page is a work in progress as the new committee have just been elected. Therefore, the new committee photos are not quite ready yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Committee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Catherine<\/h3>\n

Chair
chair.mynydd@gmail.com<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Catherine is a long-time member of the Mynydd and is someone that most members will recognise. Catherine is based on the eastern side of the Peak so can often be found out and about on Tuesday evening meets when the weather allows. She also loves a good mountain route and occasional mild peril on a sea cliff on weekend and extended meets.<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Jen<\/h3>\n

Secretary

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Jen is another stalwart of the club having been a member along with her family for many years. Jen uses her previous experience as a teacher to keep the committee in line and has excellent organisational skills.<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Mike<\/h3>\n

Treasurer

\"Picture<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mike has been climbing for many years. His UKC logbook will attest to the fact that since throwing off the shackles of work he has worked to become stronger and now regularly eases his way up hard climbs on any rock type in front of him.<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Steve<\/h3>\n

Meets Secretary
meets.mynydd@gmail.com
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Steve joined the Mynydd in 2021 after his long-time climbing partner relocated to Australia. Though you\u2019ll rarely see him on a Tuesday evening, he\u2019s a regular at weekend and extended meets. Despite being a trad and sea cliff connoisseur at heart, these days you\u2019re just as likely to find him training on a woody, redpointing sport routes or bouldering on the grit; some say he\u2019s gone soft, others think he\u2019s seen the light.<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Alex<\/h3>\n

Membership Secretary
members.mynydd@gmail.com
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As a relatively recent addition to the Mynydd Alex is the perfect person to act as membership secretary. Alex climbs well and isn’t afraid of esoterica. If you contact the Mynydd about joining a meet or becoming a member, Alex will likely be on the other end of the email.<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Luke<\/h3>\n

Hut Warden
hutwarden.mynydd@gmail.com
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Luke is a long-standing member of the club. Living relatively local to the hut Luke is perfectly located to help keep the hut in working order.<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Rob<\/h3>\n

Hut Bookings Secretary
hutbookings.mynydd@gmail.com<\/p>\n

\"Picture<\/a><\/figure>

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rob has been around the Mynydd all his life (long time now) as his parents were members. He spent a lot of time at our Hut, Blaen Y Nant in North Wales as a child and so has a great fondness for this wonderful place. As such he\u2019s been the hut bookings sec for some years now. Rob enjoys being out in the mountains and prefers long easy rock mountain routes, ski mountaineering, MTB and Alpine ascents.<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Richard<\/h3>\n

Communications Officer
comms.mynydd@gmail.com
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Richard joined the Mynydd in the summer of 2018 as his outdoor climbing life started to take off. A certain pandemic got in the way of a spring\/summer but otherwise adventures with the Mynydd have never been far away. From night time bouldering in the Peak to long adventurous trad routes in hard to get to places, he’ll give most climbing related things a go once or twice.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
