ABOUT US
SURMC is a student-run club that facilitates an active climbing culture amongst its members. We meet every Wednesday night at the Ledge on Sydney Uni's campus, where we get discounted entry ($7!!), and often head to the Flodge after for a drink. We run trips outdoors as regularly as possible, and cater to all levels of climbing. Other than this website, our Facebook group is the main method of communication between members- join to sign up for official club trips, find a climbing partner, organise a trip of your own and to keep up to date with the climbing world.
SURMC is run by student volunteers. If you have a question about the club or rock up at the Ledge and don't have a climbing partner, look around for the faces below for someone to introduce you to SURMC life!

SURMC COMMITTEE 2019
President Declan Everett-Morgan has been climbing for two years now and has found success by using a technique called "being very tall".
Vice President Alexandra Seifertova studies rocks for a living, and climbs them for fun.
|
Vice President Naidhruv Singh, when not perpetually injured, can be found hangdogging his way up routes at your local sydney crag.
|
Treasurer Jade Beatriz has a patented climbing style:
1% disproportionately strong legs and 99% screaming.
|
Secretary Nanakie Sindhu thinks sometimes all you need to do is just hang in there.
|
Socials Officer Gabriella "Gael" Parrilla is a newly-turned rock obsessed loser - I mean, winner - and can be found crying halfway up a wall or yelling beta at confused strangers.
|
IT/Publicity Officer Mariam Sheikh is too short for all your beta - dynos need not apply. When not climbing, she's at the gym lifting weights and still getting chalk all over herself.
|
Safety/Skills Officer Leo Dunstan-Potter studies medicine, so he knows how much paperwork goes into injuries and would rather you didn't. At the crag he can be found on the easiest ramble furthest from the car park.
|
Safety/Skills Officer Henry Clarke is a boulderer who can occasionally be found screaming, “TAKE,” and frantically searching for the next bolt. He is much more familiar with falling on his ass than on a rope.
|
Trip Officer Hannah Taylor started off as a boulderer but eventually discovered ropes, and can be found most weekends climbing in the Bluies. Her mantra? Dynos are the worst and exposure is cool.
|
Trip Officer Jillian Burston loves to get reacquainted with the great outdoors whenever she leaves the library for a nice reminder of what sunshine and raw skin feels like.
|
Gear officer Tess Noble has the key to all gear but prefers to climb on her dad's ancient rack. If she's not skiing, running or navving through the bush at night, then she's probably climbing.
|
Gear officer Wen Yee Tan has been climbing for 2 years but has only recently started doing it actively in an attempt to ‘be rugged'.
|
Gear Officer Zi Hui Lie is a veterinary student who tries to fondle as much rock as she can in her free time.
|
Sustainability Officer Chloe Fu has two favourite things - climbing, and being passive aggressive about recycling.
|
When Membership Officer Sam Gentle isn't patiently belaying the climber crying half way up the wall, they can be found "totally meaning to head to that crag again some time soon".
|
Membership Officer Chloe Sian is all about that short girl beta.
