LUAK - Leuvense Universitaire Alpinisten Klub

LUAK turns 55 this year and we’re gonna celebrate! The weekend of 26-27 september we’re headed to Freyr to climb during the day, and to eat together and talk around the campfire in the evening. It’s guaranteed to be a lively meet!

No registrations necessary, but we will make a groupchat to facilitate carpooling and so we have a rough idea how many people will join. If you would like to come on this awesome weekend send a WhatsApp message to Mo (+32 468 15 23 35) or email to [email protected], then we will add you to the groupchat.

P.S.: There will be limited edition T-shirts available, so don’t miss out! :o ;)

We had another amazing Summer Meet in Ailefroide! 🧗☀️
A huge thank you to Lukas for making the most delicious pizzas 🍕, and to everyone who made it such a great trip and captured so many beautiful moments! 📸
Our next activity is the 🎊 55 JAAR WEEKEND 🎊
📍 Freyr
📅 26–27 September
We hope to see everyone there!

LUAK just had a succesful KVB3 - Outdoor Climbing & Multipitch Stage.

We climbed, did some impressive multipitches, practiced techniques like anchor building, belaying on a multipitch and rescues. And on top of that we made nice new connections with like-minded climbers from LUAK.

Here are a few pics to make you wish you were here too!

If you are interested in a climbing course (KVB2+, KVB3, KVB3+ or KVB4), let the board members know, so we can look at what’s possible
