Edinburgh University Hillwalking Club

This is a list of kit we keep in our gear room at the Pleasance. As a club member you can borrow any item for private trips (as long as it doesn't overlap with club trips where most of our gear is needed), all we ask for is a small donation (usually £1/item) which goes to mountain rescue.

If you would like to borrow gear please get in touch with our gear secretary by emailing .
