The Club's regular, informal evening climbing meetings are held on Tuesdays at the Red Goat in York and on Wednesdays at Freeklime, Clifton Moor. Thursday is the main club meeting and is either outdoors at local crags or at the Live For Today Climbing Centre, Harrogate in winter or if its raining. The forum page will notify everyone of upcoming weekly venues and timings.
Notices and events shown below may have a link to an associated page where you can see the full details. If you would like to come on any trips directly contact the organiser or mail@yorkmc.org.uk.
Note that when payment is required your place on a trip is not confirmed until you have paid. If you cannot attend the Club will not give a refund unless the trip is full and your place can be sold to another Club Member. Refunds may, however, be given at the discretion of the Club Committee.
We run a first aid course every year over a weekend in the Winter months. Recent, up to date first aid knowledge is of invaluable benefit to mountaineers and hill walkers. If necessary the Club will provide financial backing to encourage maximum participation of members by ensuring that the cost to the individual is set at a very competitive rate.

| Winter is coming, maybe, so I thought it a good idea to post a link here to the Mountaineering page of the BMC website. There are many useful skills videos and suggested equipment lists available which are of benefit to both novice and experienced mountaineers. The BMC is not the only source for mountaineering advice and information but is a sound and reliable means to enhance your knowledge. I recommend that the collection of winter skills videos and articles offering advice are worth a look, especially for novice mountaineers. BMC Mountaineering - link |

| Askham Bryan College has contacted York MC to announce the introduction of a new higher education programme launching in 2026, the FdSc Adventure Sport. The course has been developed to support progression into the outdoor and adventure sector, combining practical adventure sport skills with leadership, coaching, safety, and industry-focused academic study. The course may not be directly relevant to many of our club members, however, members may know of someone who would be interested in the new programme. The course will be of strong interest to individuals already engaged with outdoor activities and adventure training with aspirations to progress into the industry. |
