Auckland Section Upcoming Trips
As well as the planned trips programme below, we are also trying to encourage people to let other Alpine Club members know of trips they are planning at short notice, e.g.deciding on a Thursday "Hey the weather forecast looks great for the weekend, let's go to climbing!"
In order to facilitate getting these sorts of trips known we are going to make some changes to the website, but initially we'll just set up a group email list of people that are interested in hearing about these short notice trips.
So if you're keen, send us an email and we'll add you to the list.
Email the Trip Organiser (trips@aucklandclimber.org.nz) if you have a suggestion for a trip or would like to lead one.
See the Trip Organiser Guidelines to get an idea of what's involved in organising a trip and the Alpine Trip Difficulty section on the Trips page for an explanation of the grading of trips.

Club Meeting 12th March 2012
Author Paul Maxim talking about Bill Denz. Bill was a mountaineer with attitude. He inspired and provoked a generation of Kiwi climbers. Denz pushed the limits beyond what we thought was possible and left a collection of routes in the Aoraki / Mount Cook region and in the Darrans that are seldom
repeated. Climbers still break out in a nervous sweat just thinking about them. His death on
Makalu robbed the climbing world of one of its great characters but created an enduring legend.
The club meets on the second Monday of every month at Cardrona Speights Ale House, on Normanby Rd, Mt Eden – Meeting starts at 8pm. Socialise with other members from 7pm.
