The Millennium                 

In 2000 the Club had an expedition to Ladakh and members climbed Stok Kangri, “over 20,000 ft in the year 2000” to quote our then President.  Four separate groups had first undertaken acclimatisation treks, reaching at least 5000 m, before joining together for the peak. (Photos show members on the summit.)

During the late 20^th and early 21^st century LSCC summer Alpine meets were enjoyed.
Our Huts Blackrock and Milehouse have copies of some Alpine Journals

The Centenary

In 2008, the Club celebrated its Centenary with a programme of events taking place over the year, including: Members meeting at the Lix boulder; a mass ascent of Buachaille Etive Mor by a variety of climbing and scrambling routes - many members dressed in period costume (photo above); a meet in Bolivia, based at the Condoriri base camp, where Pequena Alpamayo was climbed (photo above); and a three week stravaig across Scotland. 

In 2010 Kate Ross became the first British woman to climb all the 4000 m mountains in the Alps.
She had previously climbed Ama Dablam (6812 m), a serious climbing peak in Nepal.
