RAFMA's May Meet to Arran (22–25 May) delivered four days of sunshine, dry rock and no midges.

11 members and one dog enjoyed scrambling, hillwalking and trad climbing, with highlights including Goatfell, the A'Chir Ridge traverse and South Ridge Direct on Cir Mhor. 🏔️☀️

RAFMA’s April Meet in the Peak District (24–26 Apr) delivered a packed weekend of trad climbing, sport climbing and hillwalking in excellent conditions.

Stanage, Burbage, Lawrencefield and Water-cum-Jolly all saw plenty of activity alongside good food and a great turnout. #RAFMA

Remembering Fran Capps and Rimon Than ten years after the tragic accident that took their lives in the Chalamain Gap avalanche. Rest in peace.

Thanks Ian Dunn for a great coaching session with the RAF Climbing Team! Today the team focused on performing under competition pressure and used video analysis to work on their technique.

Great preparation for the upcoming tri-service bouldering league! 💪🏼

RAF Mountaineering is deeply saddened to announce that Wing Commander Gordon Henderson is reported Missing Believed Killed on Broad Peak, Pakistan. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.

What a weekend! Thanks everyone for coming, see you at the next meet! 👋🏼 🧗🏻
