club history
The draft constitution of the Junior Mountaineering Club of Scotland was drawn up and the name Junior Mountaineering Club of Scotland was decided upon by Messrs Hutchison, Rutherford and Rusk during a storm bound day at the Mutthorn Hut at the head of the Lauter Brunnen valley in the Swiss Alps in July 1924.
The Junior Mountaineering Club of Scotland was formed in November 1925 at an outing to Arrochar, the idea for a club germinating at a discussion under the Narnain boulder [OS Grid ref: 274057].
