Welcome to The Cleveland Mountaineering Club
The Cleveland Mountaineering Club is for people from the Teesside area who are interested in mountain activities.
Rock climbing and general mountaineering are the main focus of the club although some members participate in hill walking, Munro ticking, biking activities and even fishing in high mountain tarns.
What does it do
The club organises a programme of activities throughout the year. In summer these include weekly climbing meets on Tuesday evenings and regular weekend meets in mountain areas. In winter the club organises winter mountaineering trips, meets at local climbing walls and also a range of social activities.
The club has a hut located at Patterdale in the Lake District which is available for use by all members.
Who are its members
The club generally draws its members from Teesside and surrounding areas. Members are of all ages and experience.
To facilitate participation in mountain activities by its youngest members (with their parents), the club hut is open to members and their families on one weekend a month.
Joining the club
The club welcomes new members of all ages who are interested in rock climbing and other mountain activities.
How to contact the club and further details on membership can be found here.

Take Care on the Scugdale Road
The club has received this e-mail from a Scugdale resident. Please be careful on this narrow road!
'I am one of the occupants of the farm which is on the road to Scugdale. I am writing to respectfully ask that you address your members on the way they drive on Scugdale road. Having lived here for 25 years we are well used to visitors being unaware of the dangers of speed on this apparently quiet road. Plaese could you make your members aware that there is frequently animals on the road between our farmhouse and the carpark near to the crags. I have been prompted to contact you after a regrettable incident last night involving a loose horse, thankfully it came to no harm, but the egotistical drivers involved were in no way to thank for this. Please convey to your members that slowing their speed and driving in a considerate way will not only protect the people who live here, but also their vehicles from damage.'
Heavy Work at Peak Scar!
Members of the club and associates moved logs from the trees felled below Peak Scar. This will open up this crag more.

The report presented to the recent AGM highlights important access issues on local crags.
