The Edinburgh JMCS is an active climbing and mountaineering club, based mainly in and around Edinburgh, although we have members throughout the UK, and abroad. Club members participate in all kinds of outdoor activities. In particular, rock climbing and winter climbing, hill walking, mountain biking, kayaking, skiing and more.
meets
We organize a weekly evening meet each Wednesday evening throughout the year. During the summer months we visit the local (and not so local) crags, and in the winter we have a weekly club booking at the Heriot-Watt University climbing wall (a wall for connoisseurs), and we visit the other local indoor walls at Alien Rock in Newhaven and the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena at Ratho.
We also have regular weekend meets to all parts of the UK.
In addition, many members climb in the Alps, and further afield. Sports climbing at 'sun rock' (and good wine) destinations is also remarkably popular. A selection of reports on members' trips can be found here.
huts
The club has two club huts in the highlands available for members, and members of clubs affiliated to the MCofS and BMC. One is near Newtonmore and one is in Dundonnell.
