UBMC SUMMER AILEFROIDE TRIP
This summer UBMC will be going to Ailefroide, in the Pais des Ecrins of the southern french alps! There is a huge range of both sport & trad climbing, multi-pitch routes and even alpine & glacial terrain, set amongst some of the most stunning scenery the alps has to offer.
We will be staying in a campsite in the valley, within walking distane to all the surrounding crags. Tents and cooking equipment will be driven out (included in the ticket cost), and there is a shuttle bus down to the nearby town for food shopping.
Tickets will cost £130 and include 7 nights camping (with electricity, showers etc) as well as a bus transfer to and from the airport (flights not included). We will be flying from Stanstead (07:25 departure - this allows time to set up tents in the afternoon) to Turin on the 3rd, and Turin (22:50 departure) on the way back.
Luggage: When it comes to luggage and gear, you'll need to buddy up with someone and share a suitcase to save on luggage. If you buy a ticket for the trip but don't have anyone to share luggage with, we can pair you up with someone. A trip group chat will be created to facilitate this and to organise car shares for people travelling from Bristol.
PLEASE DO NOT BUY YOUR FLIGHT UNTIL YOU HAVE A CONFIRMED UBMC TICKET THAT HAS BEEN FULLY PAID FOR.
You must also be a competent sport climber, including being able to clean routes outdoors. There is still time to learn these skills at Redpoint Wednesdays, if you are already an experienced top rope climber.
The gear list of what you need personally: harness, climbing shoes, helmet, belay device, chalk bag. (If you don't have any of these things, please reach out to James our gear sec and he can help you out). Overseas insurance is also needed - we recommend Austrian Alpine.
By booking this ticket, you are committing to transferring £130 to the UBMC bank acount IMMEDIATELY. Failure to do so will result in us putting your ticket back up for sale for someone else. Please also do not send money unless you have actually booked this ticket upon ticket release!
