It was founded by Joss Lynam and Bill Perrott in December 1948. Leafing through past journals, you are struck by the rich heritage of our club and its global reach. It set standards for mountain climbing in Ireland: and at a time when it long-distance travel was difficult, IMC members set off on far-flung expeditions to the Alps, the Himalayas, Africa South America and the Southern Alps. Back in 1954, Peter Kenny said Spillikin Ridge would be a “route for supermen only”. Yet he and Frank Winder led the first ascent. in the late 1950s Brighid Hardiman referred to a timeless challenge when climbing in Connemara: “Mweelrea was climbed by some of the group on a day when three of us did Carrot Ridge, its 900 feet of Diff standard raised to XS by the midges which accompanied us all the way., “We had to climb in bright hot sunlight with sleeves rolled down and Anorak hoods up to try and ward off the nightmare swarm that beat against us like rain.

  • Book Reviews 1990 Compiled by Geoffrey Templeman
    Book Reviews 199() COMPILED BY GEOFFREY TEMPLEMAN Elusive Summits Victor Saunders Hodder & Stoughton, 1990, pp191, £14·95 This is very much a book of our time and a model of its genre. It tells of four lightweight, alpine-style expeditions to the Karakoram. All the routes described were of the highest standard of difficulty and epics abound. So far, no big deal; lots ofyoung mountaineers have been going to the greater ranges on exactly this sort of expedition during the last decade. What raises this book head and shoulders above the run-of-the-mill is that Victor Saunders is not only a hard climber but an unusually percipient and humorous writer. This is a happy and rare combination of talents which I shall allude to later. In this, his first book, Saunders has got most things right. Each expedition gets about 50 pages. This ensures thatthe narrative is concentrated and itavoids the inescapable padding of 'the expedition book'. Saunders is commendably frank - bearing in mind that the totally honest autobiography has yet to be written. He has that knack, brought to an art form by Tom Patey, of exposing, almost caricaturing, his friends' quirks. As with Patey, it is done with disarming humour and kindliness. With a sophisticated, and often self-deprecating, sense of humour he reveals the absurd and the illogical in many expedition situations and attitudes. This is delightful leavening. His writing is crisp, even staccato, and he frequently surprises with a sudden oblique view of a scene. For instance, when a falling stone knocks a tooth out, he climbs down 'trailing blood, spit and self-pity'.

  • Summer 2016 (Pdf)
    Irish Mountaineering Club Newsletter Summer 201 6 Welcome to the Summer 2016IMC Newsletter It's been another great year for the New Member's Programme. Club membership took a significant dip in the new year but since then we have had over 80 new members sign up. Within these pages you can find perspectives from both sides of the programme, from both newcomer & mentor, as well as impressions of the Lake District from two of our new members who attended the June meet there, together with a selection of photos from the well attended Glendalough Weekend. Again, kudos to Training Officer Jon for organising such a great programme. Members have been busy on a number of climbing trips away to various destinations including Spain, Norway and the Alps reported within, as well as as Sinead, Cian & Vanessa heading off with Andy for some big wall adventures in Yosemite (featured in the next newsletter). Nearer to home, members have managed to tease another 2 new routes out of Dalkey Quarry. Kevin Byrne, Sean Barrett, Colin Keogh and Antoinette Gough putting up "GR20" in the East Valley and Jon McCarty, Niamh McCarty, Keith O'Brien squeezing in "Circumcision" in the West. Mention must also be made of Dave Keogh who, not content with seemingly flying up to Scotland every other weekend over the winter (see his blog article on the IMC website), is now completing impressive ticks in the Alps including the Walker Spur. We hope to have more details on that later in the year. Finally, please keep the articles and trips reports coming in, we are always looking for content for both the newsletter and the blog.

  • 188 the AMERICAN ALPINE JOURNAL 1992 K&Hang. a 1Zmember Team from Calcutta Climbed Kokthang
    188 THE AMERICAN ALPINE JOURNAL 1992 K&hang. A 1Zmember team from Calcutta climbed Kokthang (6147 meters, 20,167 feet) via the northeast face from Camp II at 5425 meters. On May 12, Dipak Kumar Bose, Parijat Chowdhury and Sherpas Kami, Lhakpa Tsering and Tharchen Tsering reached the summit. The leader was Amulya Sen. KAMAL K. GUHA, Editor, Himavanta, India Nepal Nepalese Peak Fees. Climbers are concerned with a sizeable increase in the fees that the Nepalese government charges for permission to climb its peaks. On September 20, the Ministry of Tourism announced that fees were being raised for the start of the spring 1992 season “in consideration of environmental conser- vation.” A ministry official said that this means the government wants fewer climbers and their rubbish on Everest and the other popular 8000-meter peaks. He cited the view of Sir Edmund Hillary that Everest should be closed to all mountaineers for several years to give the mountain time to cleanse itself. The Nepalese authorities said they did not want to take such drastic action, but they would like to encourage climbers to go to peaks below 8000 meters, for which the fee increase is less extreme. He also pointed out that Nepal had devalued its currency by about 20% in July and the new rates were partly designed to make up for this. (The old rates had been fixed in Nepalese rupees.) A member of a Spanish team returning from Pumori and Lhotse observed that the new fee of $8000 for Lhotse alone is equal to half of their total budget for this autumn’s climb.

LUGNAQUILLIA THE ARDERINS DEVELOPING Ascent by hillwalkers One writer’s favourite TALENT with disability 500m peaks Training young climbers www.mountaineering.ie Mountaineering Ireland has invited Stephen Venables to deliver the 2013 Lynam Lecture. Stephen Venables is a renowned mountaineer, writer, broadcaster and public speaker and was the first Briton to climb Everest without supplementary oxygen. He reached the summit alone, after climbing with a small American- Canadian team by a new route up the gigantic Kangshung face. Everest was a thrilling highlight in a career which has taken Stephen right through the Himalaya from Afghanistan to Tibet, making first ascents of many previously unknown mountains. His adventures have also taken him to the Rockies, the Andes, the Antarctic island of South Georgia, East Africa, South Africa and, of course, the European Alps, where he has climbed and skied for over forty years. Lynam Lecture 2013 Venue: Edmund Burke Theatre, Trinity College Dublin, December 12th 2013. Doors open 7:00pm, start 8:00pm.

  • The North East
    The North East Lough Foyle to Carlingford Lough The writing of this section of the guide was greatly assisted by referring to ‘A Sea Kayaker’s Guide to the Causeway Coast’, by Robin G. Ruddock. It was an excellent publication and worth reading are visiting the area from Lough Foyle in the W to Torr Head and Cushendun in the E. You can obtain a copy from Robin. The text of it though, insofar as it may not be entirely subsumed into this work, is certainly subsumed into Robin’s North Coast Sea Kayak Trail guide now published. Robin has basically included the same information using map, symbols and historical and environmental information. This is also available online through the Northern Ireland Countryside Access and Advisory Network. It is really well produced and is in the same format as the “Strangford Trail”. County Derry Lough Foyle C660-390 Sheet 3/4 Embarkation The logical embarkation point for the outer regions of Lough Foyle is Magilligan Point, by the Martello Tower. Access is by the B202 past the prison and rifle range. Do not block roads. Park by the hotel. The whole region is a security area, frequently patrolled. Especially beware of the military zone on the beach immediately to the E of the point, Benone Beach, on which it’s better not to land (certainly not while firing is going on). Accurate information for those passing the firing range can now be obtained from CANI. Further to the E, beyond the military zone, there is public access at about C716-363.
