The OMC is a hillwalking, climbing and mountaineering club based in Stirling, Scotland. Throughout our 76 year history, the club has introduced many newcomers to the hills and crags, so no matter your level of experience, you’ll be welcome in the OMC.

For more info on the OMC, see the About Us section, and have a browse around the rest of the site.

Our monthly informal pub meets are on the second Thursday of each month, currently in The Crossed Peels, Stirling from around 8pm. We will be downstairs usually located in the general vicinity of the coffee machine (back right hand side when looking out from the bar).

On the first Wednesday of each month (except July and August) we have a speaker or other indoor presentation at Stirling County Cricket Club, usually starting at 8pm. Previous speakers include famous climbers, compleaters of multiple Munro-rounds, adventure cameramen, alpinists and adventurers, filmmakers, mountain runners and many more, check out our Meets page.
