@alpineclub.bsky.socialMany thanks to the Wayfarer's Club who recently hosted us at their hut in Langdale. In spite of the inclement weather, members made the most of the meet, with climbs on White Ghyll & Raven Crag. The weekend was topped off by a great talk from Mike Parsons on his life as an outdoor gear developer.

@alpineclub.bsky.socialLast year, Andy Startford led a team of AC and Karabiner Club members to the summit of Nepal's Kyajo Ri (6186m).

Several teams made ascents of the classic North Ridge of Demirkazık, which gives a fantastic day out & incredible views of the range. 📷️ Aykut Türem making the descent from the summit via the SE ridge.

Had the privilege of a sneak peak at the preperations a few weeks ago when delivering some loan items! #MountaineeringHistory #NightClimbing #Mountaineering
@alpineclub.bsky.socialEarlier this month, members were in North Pembroke where, unfortunately, they had to grab their climbs between the showers. Despite this, a number of classics were climbed, including 'Sinecure' (E1 5b) and 'Armorican' (VS 4c).
@alpineclub.bsky.socialCongratulations to the members of the 2026 Alpine Club Misgar Valley Expedition who, over a month in Pakistan, succeeded in making the first ascents of three previously unclimbed peaks: Murghi Sar (5597m), Mahal (5355m) and Pehradar (5488m).
