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 2020-2021

Club President 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.

Vice President Chloe Fu has two favourite things - climbing, and being passive aggressive about recycling.

Vice President Brandon Harding doesn't know what he likes more, talking about climbing or talking about climbing gear.

Secretary 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.

Treasurer Jade Beatriz has a patented climbing style: 1% disproportionately strong legs and 99% screaming.

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 and Skills 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 Gabriella "Gael" Parrilla

Gear Officer Zi Hui Lie

When Trip Officer Abigail Gentle isn't patiently belaying the climber crying half way up the wall, she can be found "totally meaning to head to that crag again some time soon".

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.

If Socials Officer Anton Korsun isn't at the physio... he's probably on his way to the physio.

If Socials Officer Ollie Butcher isn't wearing his crocs, he's busy feeding the shark.

Sustainability Officer Vivienne Smith is a social climber in both senses and will always make your climbing look good~

Membership Officers Lauren Moore (left) and Courtney Harrison (right) spend most of their time joined at the hip. When they’re not climbing they can be found either boasting about what great climbers they are or yelling unhelpful and inaudible beta at anyone foolish enough to climb with them.
