Committee 2025/2026

Hi, I'm William (Wills) Gorton. I'm a 3rd year Physical Geography student and a proud citizen of Perth, Scotland. My goal is to make the club even more accessible, to enable the rest of the committee to do the best job they can and to ensure that everyone keeps on sending hard Rawr! I'm super hyped to meet anyone new to the club this year. Whether you have loads of experience or none, you will be warmly welcomed in the big Yummick family. The club is super friendly and any rumours you've heard about it are definitely true. Some of my skills include getting really scared on Lake District rock, map reading and Jenga See you soon!

Hey everyone, I'm Sandy, a third year Physics student and I'll be your treasurer for the year. Being treasurer means I'll be looking after the club's money, making sure you get the most value out of your membership as possible.

I'm happiest while out climbing with my friends on a meet or getting hammered at a GBH party - so you best believe I'll be skipping my uni work for another year of mountaineering shenanigans. I can't wait to see you all in freshers week and meet everyone new to the club!

Hey, I'm Milo, a fourth-year PPE student and this year's secretary!

I'm super psyched for all things outdoors, especially when there's ice involved. Though these days I'm getting quite hooked on sport climbing and clocking a few too many hours at Ratho!

As secretary, I help keep the club running smoothly alongside the president - this includes sorting memberships, handling insurance, and keeping track of all committee proceedings.

I also manage the club's inbox, so if you've got any questions about the EUMC, drop me an email at mountaineering@ed.ac.uk or feel free to message me directly (@milomergler)

Hi! I'm Carrie, a third-year Physics and Meteorology student and this year's Sustainability Sec!

I love anything outdoorsy, especially sport climbing and wild swimming, and I'm looking to get more into trad climbing and winter scrambling this year.

As Sustainability Sec, I'll be organising volunteering days for tree planting and crag cleanups, running a cycle bus to the best place on earth (The Climbing Hangar), and generally helping the club run more sustainably. Keep an eye out for my weekly email section to find out about our sustainability events and how you can help make a difference!

Hey! I'm Akash, a 3rd year maths and philosophy student, but more importantly your new

Wellbeing sec!

I'm in charge of keeping you all happy and healthy, so if you're in need of a chilly morning swim, an evening hill run or just someone to talk to, come say hi, I can't wait to meet everyone this year!

My aim is to keep the club inclusive, diverse and in good spirits! If you have any questions, suggestions, or introspections find me @akashmarsh and s2487685@ed.ac.uk

Yo, I'm Charlie and I'm going to be the safety and training sec. That means I will be preventing any freshers from colliding with the ground. This is often difficult as ground falls and freshers are a match made in heaven. I love all things outdoors, but particularly love adventurous trad climbing. I am also a psyched winter bean occasionally found swinging tools haphazardly into ice, turf, and often granite slabs by mistake.

Hi l'm Chris,

Along with my boss (Ruairi), as apprentice bothy secretary my job is to look after the coolest thing in the EUMC, our very own bothy.

I'm a 2nd year history and politics student. If I'm not up a hill, or fighting with the composting toilet I'm reading books at the library.

If you want to find out more about the illustrious history of Glenlicht house, hit me up.

Can't wait to see you all

Hey, l'm Anna! I'm a 2nd year Landscape Architecture student and this year's Publicity Secretary. I'll be the one keeping our socials updated with all the fun stuff going on in the club and making sure everyone knows what's coming up .

I'm looking forward to having more fun in the hills this year-and fingers crossed for more snow than last winter !
