The first indoor meet of the season is a slideshow presentation on the MMC trip to the Ecrins massif in the Southern Alps, which six members led by Illona Morrice undertook at the end of July – beginning of August.

Basing themselves in the charming village of Ailefroide, the team tackled the many opportunities the area has to offer: From single and multipitch sport climbing to Alpine routes and glacier mountaineering.

Thrill to the daring Alpine exploits of Joe Glennie and Ryan Slater on the Pelvoux traverse!

Tremble as Ali Erginsoy and John Orr brave crevasses and seracs to bag a 4000m peak.

Gasp as Illona Morrice and Dave Binney send increasing desperate sport routes on pristine granite slabs!
