Rucksack Club one step closer to becomming 'Incorporated" |
At the Rucksack Club AGM, the membership took the brave decision to pursue becoming "Incorporated" under the rules of a Mutual Society. This has a number of benefits to the Rucksack Club, one of which is to protect its Officers from personal liability when exercising their duties on behalf of the Club. The process of achieving Incorporation took a step closer in March with the registration of "The Rucksack Club Ltd" with the FSA under the Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1965. |

Lecture - Alpine Classic 4000s and Grand Courses |
The nights may be drawing in, but there’s one compensation – the Rucksack Club Indoor Meets have started again! On Tuesday 11th October Colin Beechey will be presenting a slide show on: Alpine Classic 4000‟s and Grand Courses. Colin has had over 40 short Alpine holidays, of only two weeks duration or less, starting as a teenager in 1968 to the present time. For most of this period Colin was attracted to the great historical climbs, ridges and traverses, regardless of the height of the mountain. By the time he discovered there was a list of the 4000ers he realised he had already climbed most of them by their „Grandes Courses‟ or classic routes, using the normal routes for descents. He completed his round of the main 4000ers plus a large number of subsidiary summits in 2000, in order to continue seeking out the great classic alpine climbs on lesser peaks.His talk will include a selection of his most memorable classic climbs including the Hirondelles Ridge (Grande Jorasses), Zmutt Ridge (Matterhorn), Viereselsgrat (Dent Blanche), North Ridge (Weisshorn), Scercsen Eisenase/Bernina Traverse, Peuterey Ridge (Mont Blanc, Aig Blanche), Corda Molla (Disgazia), Lenspitze North face/Nadelgrat.
