Women with Altitude
Some of our members attended Women with Altitude 2019. The annual Mountaineering Ireland initiative to encourage women to take on greater challenges in mountaineering. The weekend provided a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills, improve existing skills, explore the mountains and socialise with like minded women.
