LUAK

Don't forget, this Friday the 27th at 19h is our awesome yearly BBQ (and general meeting)! We'll take care of the side dishes, veggies and grill. You bring your preferred meat, a plate and cutlery.

Don't miss out!

PS: since everybody will meet at the BBQ on Friday, the LUAK will be closed on Thursday.

Good news everyone,

From Saturday 19 until Sunday 27 July, LUAK is going on zomertreffen to Switzerland in the region of the Grimsel, Furka and Süsten pass. We are all staying at the pleasant campsite Grimselblick in the cozy village of Innertkirchen. Everybody is welcome to come along, regardless of climbing grades, age or experience. Nearby, you can do multipitch climbing, sportsclimbing, bouldering, alpinism, (hiking, swimming, cycling, bookreading and even nothing if you are lazy).

If you are planning on joining us (which you should), please send an email to the famous luak.bestuur@gmail.com . If you want to join, but can't find a ride over there, come to LUAK evenings or post your ride request on the Luak forum or facebook page.

As a teaser a picture of Bruno, Tobias and Linus taken on top of the Diamand Stocke taken by Kleine Koen.

See you there!!!

Be sure to pass by the LUAK on Friday! Fishtail (the band fronted by our own Linus) will do a superb gig, followed by a great green party! Still a lot of booze left over from the x-mas party so prepare yourselves and your livers for some cheap spirited drinks!

The 11th of march the Luak will host a trip report by two awesome belgian climbers, Siebe Vanhee and Tim De Dobbeleer. Whom showed to have big cojones and doing some crazy stuff in the Alps. The presentation will be held by the two climbers at MSI 00.20: Erasmusplein 2, 3000 Leuven. Be there or be square!

Next up: the famous coldfinger weekend! Next Friday evening or Saturday morning we're leaving for Fontainebleau. We'll stay until Sunday night. Fingers crossed for some blue sky high friction, low gravity days!

If you want to join us, come to the LUAK on Thursday night to discuss logistics & car pool arrangements.

Saturday night we'll probably bivy on the Hippodrome field. Bring your own camping cooking supplies if you want to keep it cheap. Join the others for a restaurant (we're known to hijack the pizza place) if you're lazy ;).

This thursday LUAK will host a presentation by three different (teams of) climbers, as they come to show us what they have achieved the past year. It'll be a fun and cosy way to meet other climbers, talk about climbing, and listen to climbing stories!

More info after the break.

Good news every one (as the professor of Futurama would say). Luak is going to the Montafon valley in Austria (Oostenrijk) from Wednesday evening 5 February until Sunday 9 February. LUAK and a certain former LUAK president Mr. De Winne (many thanks) have found a very nice house over there with several rooms, showers, large living/eating room and even children proof. The house is located in Tschaggun which is about 7,5hours driving from Leuven. (http://www.gaestehaus-doblinger.at) More importantly, everybody who likes the mountains at winter time will have something to do:

There are still some left-overs from the Christmas party and next week on Thursday (16 January), LUAK will even provide ice cream and pancakes to support all the students and non students. Be there!

De LUAK wenst al haar leden een gezellige kerst, en hopelijk gaan we in 2014 knalcondities hebben zodat onze goede voornemens en weddenschappen kunnen gehaald worden!

The LUAK wishes a merry christmas to all her members, and hopes for good conditions to climb throughout the year 2014 so all our bets can be climbed!

Sunday 15 December four brave men went to Freyr to search for Santa. They did not find Santa or his helpers, but they did climb some awesome looking rocks! Easy to say that these 4 luakers came back as hero's.
