On the 10th of December our community will be completing the memorial hike in honour of a dear friend who we very sadly lost in 2018. Pat was CUMC’s vice president in 2018 and we have commemorated his life by coming together, current CUMC members and old, by hiking up the beautiful Pen Y Fan mountain in Y Bannau Brycheiniog. It’s a day that is very close to the hearts of many of us in the community and a way to continue supporting those who were close to him.
We will be meeting at 10AM at this carpark: Nant Cwm Llwch. Everyone will be making their own way there, as it organised by friends of Pat, so we encourage car pooling where possible. Please message from committee if you have any questions.
We hope you can join us on this special day, remembering Pat 🖤❤️

09/10/2023

Good morning! I'm happy to introduce our Welfare Secretary for this year, Ben Wheaton. Here’s a little bit about him!
Degree?
Politics and Economics, 2nd Year.
Fav Discipline?
Traditional Climbing.

Carousing at the Taf on Monday
Crag Motto:
Trust your feet
Best club moment: Soo many, the AGM, Font… but I gotta go with watching the mist roll over Yr Wyddfa while climbing on Glyder Fawr, unforgettable.
Advice: Climbing revolves around becoming your best. Not about being better than others.

Hi guys! TOMORROW is our Freshers social at Revolution, so make sure you buy a ticket on our SU page. We’ll have our own space and the social secs are cooking up climbing-esque games for it, so definitely come along to meet other people in the club and have a laugh. The dress code is on the second slide. You wear the colour that matches your year within the club. See you there :)

Ukraine charity Run!🇺🇦

Hey everybody,

Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, we have decided its time to dust off those running trainers and spandex and show off that climbing cardio with a charity run to raise money for the International Committee of the Red Cross and their efforts in Ukraine!

From Monday the 11th for the next 4 weeks, we are asking people to run as many miles as they can and record it by joining our Strava group and at the end of the 4 weeks we'll see which crag in the world we've run to as a club.

All you need to do to take part is buy the Ukraine donation ticket on our SU page which is a £5 donation to the International Committee of the Red Cross. We do ask that you donate at least once to take part but you can donate via the ticket as many times as you want so if you want to give more you do have that option too! You don't need to be a member of the club or anything to donate and take part and it would be awesome to see a lot of you old boys getting involved too!

Also as an added bonus there will be some cheeky prizes for the people who run the top 3 furthest distances in the next 4 weeks to help us towards our goal!

Hope to see some of you out and about for the runs and will attempt to possibly do a few group runs in Font too for those going! 👀

Here is the link to donate on our SU page:

https://www.cardiffstudents.com/activities/sport/mountaineering/

Send me a message if you want to be added to the strava group!

Lots of love! Sam ❤

These are the crags for us to aim for:
Taff's well- 4.48 mi/7.72km
Stanage- 143.91mi/231.6km
Font- 337.20mi/542.67km
Cairngorm- 389.30mi/626.52km
El Chorro- 1,010.36mi/1,627.02km
The Red Rock (Ukraine)- 1,774.70mi/2,856.11km
El Capitan- 5,179.25mi/8,335.19km
