Our Aim
The aim of the Ladies Scottish Climbing Club, or LSCC, is to bring together women who are committed to mountaineering in Scotland and to encourage an interest in all aspects of mountaineering at home and abroad.

Club Activities
The Ladies Scottish Climbing Club is very active throughout the year. We have a full programme of meets (1, 2 and 3 days) when members are involved in all forms of mountaineering, from easy walking to hard climbing. We have regular club trips to the Alps in summer and have had trips further afield. eg: Greenland and Ladakh in Northern India, and in 2008, to Bolivia.

Guests
Guests are welcome to attend meets (except training sessions, which are subsidised for members). If you would like to come out with the LSCC, contact the membership secretary in the first instance, who will advise if necessary on clothing, equipment and level of ability expected.

Social meetings
Evening slide shows, climbing on outcrops and climbing walls are organised by our local groups in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth and the Highlands.

Centenary
The Ladies Scottish Climbing Club celebrated its centenary throughout 2008. A history of the Club 'Rising to the Challenge' by Helen Steven, was published in 2010.
