Melbourne University Mountaineering Club (MUMC) is an outdoors club based in Melbourne, Australia. Established in 1944, the club has a rich history of organising various outdoor trips and adventures for its members. From day walks that showcase awe-inspiring landscapes, wildlife, and flora, to challenging excursions on big rivers, deep caves, cliff faces, and high mountains, MUMC provides rare opportunities for individuals to master the demands of such environments and of life itself.
The club hosts Tuesday night meetings where members can gather and learn more about upcoming trips and activities. These gatherings also serve as a platform to share experiences from past adventures, which can be read about in the club's magazine.
Membership at MUMC is open to individuals of all skill levels and backgrounds, and joining the club can be done conveniently online. For existing members, there is a dedicated login section on the club's website.
One of the notable events hosted by MUMC is the annual Pie & Slide competition, which features a photo competition showcasing captivating images captured during club trips. This event is highly anticipated among members.
MUMC offers a wide range of activities for its members to engage in, including bushwalking, canoe polo, canyoning, caving, conservation work, mountaineering, rafting, rock climbing, rogaining, sea/touring kayaking, search and rescue training, social gatherings, whitewater kayaking, and cross-country skiing.
For those interested in joining the club or learning more about its activities, MUMC encourages individuals to visit their clubrooms on Tuesday nights. Members are required to adhere to the Code of Conduct set by the club. For specific information about activities, individuals can contact the relevant officer.
