Suggest a Trip: Trips are an important part of the Club's activities - they need both support and leaders. Trips are listed in the "CMC News". If you would like to suggest a trip destination or activity - or better still - lead a trip, contact the Club's Trip Officer, Mark Flintoft, phone 328 8887 or post a message on the Inputs area in the forum. The Club has completed some Trip Guidelines which are available for anyone wishing to lead or go on a Club trip. A variety of trips are organised throughout the year, led by experienced club members and catering mainly for beginning or intermediate climbers. Destinations include Arthurs Pass, the Arrowsmiths, Mt Cook and many of the Canterbury rock outcrops. In winter, ski-touring trips are also arranged. Club trips are an ideal way to gain experience and meet other people who share the same interests as you.
