In 2002, 8 members of the London Mountaineering Club set off to Nepal to climb Tent Peak 5,695m in the Annapurna Sanctuary.

In the 21 years since then, 3 members of the expedition have passed away.

Tony Hamza retraced the route in 2023 to Annapurna Base Camp and, with the help of Buddhist monks at the Pema T'sal Monastery, paid tribute to those passed friends.

Avalanche intro

Some of our LMC winter cohort will share their experiences from training and the field in interpreting weather and avalanche forecasts for winter mountaineering. In perticular how to feed this into decision making in planning trips and when out in the alpine. And, most importantly, pointers on where to learn more with courses we’ve attended, talks, books and online.

In February 2023 Guy and Richard fulfilled a longstanding ambition to complete the classic crossing of the Hardangavida plateau on skis.

After a shopping trip to Braemar to acquire some skis and despite the railway line to Bergen being blocked by an avalanche they managed to make it to the DNT hut in Finse in the midst of a blizzard.

Come along to find out how they got on and learn about hut to hut ski touring in Norway.

The AGM is an important process in determining the future direction of the club so it's important to have as many club members there as we can to ensure everyone's voices are heard. From ensuring you get the right candidates for the appropriate committee positions to ensuring everyone can provide feedback and vote, a well run AGM will ensure that preparations for the rest of the year are on track.

Please make every effort to attend the AGM this year.

Meeting starts at 8pm.
