Inspiring Aspirants - with Barry Speed, Arran Turton-Phillips, Hannah Mitchell and Ross Bell

Thursday 13 March 2025
This special evening will celebrate the AC Saas Aspirants Meet, now in its 12th year, and the many exciting places it has led for attendees.
On 13 March we are joined at the Skiddaw Hotel, Keswick, by the Saas Aspirants Meet instigator, Barry Speed, along with Aspirants Meet graduates Arran, Hannah and Ross, who will discuss their experiences on the meet and/or where the skills and confidence developed on the meet have taken them since; from Scottish winter climbs to Alpine 4,000ers and the Greater Ranges.
This is a great opportunity for those who are considering attending the Saas Aspirants Meet to find out more about it and for anyone, new member or experienced alpinist, to be inspired by what some of our newest members are getting up to in the mountains. It’s also a great chance for previous meet attendees to get together, reminisce and share ideas with prospective joiners.
Venue: The Greta Suite of the Skiddaw Hotel, Main Street, Keswick, CA12 5BL.
Lectures are free to members. Non-members are welcome to attend for a suggested £3 donation to the Montane Alpine Club Climbing Fund.
Doors Open: 7PM.
Lectures start: 7:30PM.
Food is available before the lecture from the hotel bar.
