; Dartmouth Mountaineering Club: Organizes rock and ice climbing trips and competitions.

Founded in 1936 by Jack Durrance, the Dartmouth Mountaineering Club is a student-run club dedicated to exploring climbing around the world and introducing beginners to the sport.

The nearby climbing areas most frequented by members of the club are Winslow Cliffs near the Dartmouth Skiway ; Rumney, an East Coast sport climbing venue that attracts climbers from as far away as Montreal and Boston ; Cannon Cliff in Franconia Notch ; and Cathedral and Whitehorse Ledges near North Conway.

Every term, the club runs four beginner trips out to either Rumney or Winslow, one intermediate / advanced trip to Cathedral or Cannon, and one weekend trip to the Shawangunks in New Paltz, New York.

In the winter, DMC clubbers ice climb at Holt's Ledge, Rumney, and Crawford Notch near Mt.

Washington.

When spring break rolls around, the DMC ventures out West to climb in a warmer locale for two weeks.

For the past two years, Red Rocks, Nevada has been the destination of choice.
