SUMMARY:Indoor climb: '50@50' climbing special! Celebrating 50 years of Gwentmc
DESCRIPTION:Kicking off the first of our 50@50 GMC celebrations with an indoor climb event! \nAs part of the Club’s 50 year celebration Mick Learoyd and Haydn Griffiths are planning a “full” days climbing at Boulders on the 15th March 2026. The plan is to make an early start and for each pair to climb 50 routes or for the 50 to be shared between team members ie. climbing 25 each. The climbs can be led\, seconded\, top roped or made using the self belay equipment\, they can be any grade and repeats are allowed. You will need to team up with another club member\, both be competent belayers and have passed Boulders roped climbing entrance test. \nNormal entry fees apply. Contact Haydn if you want to take part (see WhatsApp chat for full details).

SUMMARY:Talk: The Icarus Ascent: Ghosts of the Matterhorn
DESCRIPTION:Invited guest speaker Mike Lewis will talk about the The Icarus Ascent: Ghosts of the Matterhorn: \nSeven men\, seven stories\, one mountain … \nJuly 14\, 1865: Seven men stand atop the Matterhorn\, Switzerland’s most famous peak. Led by Englishman Edward Whymper\, they have beaten a rival Italian party to attain the summit of ‘The Impossible Mountain’. Triumph turns to disaster on the descent when young Douglas Hadow\, the novice of the party\, slips and drags the Rev Charles Hudson\, Lord Francis Douglas and guide Michel Croz 4\,000 feet to their deaths. At least that is the conclusion of the official inquiry … The three left\, Whymper and the father-and-son guiding team of old Peter and young Peter Taugwalder\, only survive because the rope broke in mid-air between old Peter and Lord Douglas. \nThe fall on the Matterhorn remains the most notorious mountaineering tragedy of all; grisly speculation as to why the rope broke – or even whether it was cut – persists to this day. \n‘The Icarus Ascent’\, a new historical fiction novel by long-time journalist Mike Lewis uniquely allows those seven men\, including the four who were lost\, the opportunity to relate their stories in the first person – from beyond the grave. Based on true events in the countdown to tragedy\, The Icarus Ascent tells of a tarnished prize; how safety\, diligence and prudence were sacrificed in the pursuit of glory and how one moment of ill-luck ruined lives and reputations. \n

SUMMARY:Outdoor climbs: '50@50' climbing special! Celebrating 50 years of Gwentmc
DESCRIPTION:Calling all climbers! As part of the club’s 50th anniversary\, a second climbing event is being planned- this one is outdoors. \nThe premise is to climb as many routes as you can between 1st April 2026 and the 15th August 2026. We need a list of the 50 best routes from the Wye Valley to Pembroke before April please. The routes can range from 4 to E2 ie. be fairly inclusive with the midrange going to be the most popular. There will be no leeway on the grades even if some E3’s in Pembroke are world class! \nThe BMC are aware of our celebrations and photos of climbs will be needed. \nReply to John Jones directly on WhatsApp and join the ’50 routes’ WhatsApp chat. \nOnce the routes are finalised we’ll publish a PDF of them. Get thinking and get some finger tape!
