Climbing and Mountaineering

TTC climber on Mt Una, June 2009

TTC has a long tradition of climbing and mountaineering which dates back to the club's formative years.

The club has an active climbing programme with multi-day trips running at all times of the year.

Climbing trips

Upcoming trips are typically notified via

• The TTC Fixture Card
• The Tramper
• By email to the ttc-climbing distribution list. To subscribe, simply email ttc-climbing-subscribe [snail] yahoogroups [period] com -> mailto:ttc-climbing-subscribe [snail] yahoogroups [period] com or visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ttc-climbing/

Specific considerations for climbing trips:

• Be aware that climbing trip objectives and dates are often subject to late changes due to weather.
• Safety and group considerations normally dictate that you must have completed TTC's AIC or equivalent training.
• For many summer rock climbing trips, prior rock climbing experience only may be required; check with the trip leader.

Alpine Instruction

TTC runs a popular alpine instruction course (AIC) most years from June and September.

The course targets trampers wishing to gain skills and confidence in the alpine environment as well as budding rock climbers and mountaineers.

AIC with TTC features evening lectures, climbing instruction at local venues and four weekends in the mountain environment. It is regarded as one of the most comprehensive alpine instruction courses of any New Zealand tramping and mountaineering club.

For information see the alpine instruction page.
