Events Calendar
In 2023 and 2024, Tom Davis-Merry organised two Alpine Club Greater Ranges meets to Peru and Bolivia, respectively. These meets blend classic and technical mountaineering above 6,000m with Latin American culture and the opportunity for big adventures at relatively low cost. In this lecture, Tom will share his stories from the world's largest mountain range, along with a more practical discussion about one of his favourite topics - climbing logistics and expedition planning.
All are welcome to attend and the talk is free for AC and Eagle Ski Club members and UBES students. Non-members are asked to make a donation of £5 towards the cost of the lecture expenses.
You are welcome to join us for a drink downstairs in the bar from 6.30pm. Currently, the Nova Scotia is not able to offer hot meals.
