Weekly Climbs!

The mountaineering club goes on weekly outings to local climbing gyms. Currently we communicate trips via the PUMC List-Serv, typically sending out an email a few days in advance asking who wants to join and getting the logistics in order as to how many cars and drivers we need, where we are going to meet, etc.

On Mondays we head to either the Rockville Climbing Gym or the Doylestown Rock Gym and sometimes even have a group go to each gym. For more information on the area climbing gyms, check out our Links page. Typically we leave around 6 or 7PM and get back between 10 and 11PM. It is student night at both these places so with student ID we get in at a discounted rate. If you don’t have any gear, no problem! Both places rent out shoes and harnesses.

Thursdays are student night at Elite, so similarly we head there for an awesome evening of bouldering. The logistics are basically the same, leaving around 6 or 7, have a hardcore night of bouldering, and then get back to Princeton around 11pm.

If any of this sounds like fun to you, join the list-serv and come along!

Welcome!

Welcome to the new and improved Mountaineering Club Website!

We have converted over from a static website to a more dynamic blog using WordPress so that other members of the club can contribute posts without needing any sort of programming background. In fact if you want to contribute content to the site, please let us know by filling out the form on the Contact Us page, and we can add you as an editor!

Some other cool features of the new site are forms for subscribing and unsubscribing to the PUMC List-Serv, which is where the club communicates all of the trips and outings that we take. It is pretty informal, but please do not request to be unsubscribed by emailing the whole list. I have created this nifty page to help you with that difficult task.

It would be great to get an up-to-date calendar on the site, and maybe move some of the traffic off our the list-serv and onto the blog. For now our main goal of the site is to announce cool trips and show off some of the fun adventures that we have. Don’t be afraid of giving suggestions or asking to contribute! We are a pretty welcoming bunch.
