LUBE 2010/11
The London Universities Bouldering Event, known as ‘LUBE’ to you and me, is a brand new student competition for climbers from all over London. There are 4 rounds to the event, and with one down already, there’s another 3 wonderful opportunities to enter coming up in the future including one this very weekend (Saturday 4th December). Bouldering is such a fun part of climbing and there’s no better way to enjoy it then by climbing alongside your friends with a little friendly competition for motivation. We want to say congratulations to everyone who took part in the 1st round, we hope you all enjoyed yourselves, and we look forward to seeing many of you again in the rounds to come. If you want to take part in any future rounds, please let one of the committee know – it would be great to see some new faces, and it really is worth it.
Happy bouldering!

Rab Mountain Marathon 2010
This year three members of MACs teamed up with ULGMC member and mountain marathon veteran, Mike Hale, to take part in the RAB Mountain Marathon 2010, this year in the Lake District.
Alex Wolfgang (MACs Pres) and Stephan Tietz (MACs) made up one team, while Heather Rumble (MACs VP) and Mike Hale (ULGMC) entered as another. Both teams survived without too many injuries and came in at 141st and 114th (out of 268) respectively. Not bad for a first attempt!
For those who've never heard of a mountain marathon, the basic idea is to complete a course of checkpoints over two days, carrying all your camping gear with you for a wild camp on the Saturday night. The checkpoints a team chooses are based heavily on how many points they are worth, how easy they are to get to and the strengths of each team (for example, whether a team is better at walking fast up hills, or running fast on flats).
In eleven hours our teams covered somewhere between 37 and 39 km each, over hills, through bogs and down slippery slopes.
