About Us

Welcome to the heart of adventure in the Yorkshire Dales.

We are a friendly and passionate mountaineering club bringing together people who share a love of the outdoors, challenge, and exploration. Based amongst the stunning limestone crags, rolling hills, and rugged landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales, we organise a wide range of activities for members of all experience levels, from complete beginners to seasoned mountain enthusiasts.

Our calendar is packed with adventures across the UK and beyond. Whether it’s rock climbing on gritstone edges, bouldering beneath iconic crags, scrambling along mountain ridges, tackling multi-pitch routes, exploring remote hill country, or heading out on exhilarating mountain bike rides, there’s always another challenge waiting just around the corner.

At the heart of our club is a strong sense of community. We believe the best adventures are shared, and our members enjoy regular meets, weekend trips, training sessions, and social events throughout the year. From the peaks of Snowdonia and the Scottish Highlands to the sea cliffs of Pembrokeshire and Alpine mountain ranges further afield, we create opportunities to discover remarkable places and build lasting friendships along the way.

Safety, inclusivity, and respect for the environment are central to everything we do. We encourage learning, developing new skills, and supporting one another, helping members grow in confidence while enjoying the mountains responsibly.

Whether you’re looking to improve your climbing, discover new riding trails, bag your first summit, or simply find like-minded people who love the outdoors as much as you do, you’ll find a warm welcome with us.  If you would like to apply to join us, click here.
