Story

This page is to raise funds for Climbers Against Cancer. It is running in parallel to the sale of Charity Calendars in aid of CAC. 

This year’s Rucksack Club calendar is in aid of Climbers Against Cancer. Featuring over 50 Rucksack Club members, either in front of or behind the lens, it’s a great reflection of a year in the life of The Club. Every photo is taken from the equivalent month of the previous year, featuring the whole gamut of Club activities. There are members in action on crags, hills and mountains; climbing, mountaineering, bouldering, fell-running, kayaking and doing yoga, among other things. From The Matterhorn to The Ben; cutting-edge trad to via ferrata; and traversing every Scottish 4,000ft summit to a snowy walk in The Lakes! A huge thank you to everyone who contributed photos this year.

There’s something for everybody, and the best thing is that thanks to the generosity of The Rucksack Club and some of its individual members, every penny of the purchase price will go to support Climbers Against Cancer in funding research around the world. That’s right – think of it as making a £10 charity donation and getting a free calendar! Get one for the kitchen wall, and a spare for the study, and don’t forget a few for stocking-fillers!

Through the worldwide climbing community, CAC aims to increase awareness and raise funds for research in the continued fight against a disease that affects so many. Climbers Against Cancer is a non-profit organisation, with all proceeds donated directly to cancer research facilities throughout the world. CAC is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. Last year, with your support, the calendar raised over £5,000 for CAC – let’s see if we can go even further for 2023!

The calendar is available online directly from the CAC Shop and from Climb-Europe and will also be on sale at local climbing walls. If you'd like to help out with distribution then get in touch at domini@oughton.uk.com. Thanks for all the help!

Cheers, Dom
