UCC Mountaineering Club

1998 Season

Well, I was struggling with my Leaving during this year, so I'll let Cormac sum it all up for you.

This was "an extremely successful year, during which the club managed to get as far afield as western Connemara, and Glencoe in Scotland, and a few hardy souls made it to the alps during the summer."

"There was the usual collection of climbs, and for the most part the weather was great and the craic mighty. Some of the more outstanding memories from the year include an epic Freshers Weekend, including some "Alternative" climbing by John and Tony. Then there was a rather eventful trip to Connemara (where the ultimate cure to a hangover was discovered) . Easter saw an exhilarating trip to Glencoe in Scotland, where Rob demonstrated his mastery of the Snowboard (and Hugh his mastery of "Dropping the Ice Axe at the Wrong Moment"). Also over the Easter Break, some of the club went rockclimbing in the Burren."

Basically, unless your twin sister was flattened by a falling maths student, '98 was a pretty good year to be in the club. Did I mention Cormac studied maths?
