LUAK - Leuvense Universitaire Alpinisten Klub

30/08/2026

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 ;)

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

Ho ho ho! 🎅
Next week Friday 15/12 from 20h30 will be the LUAK Christmas Party! Y'all know the recipe for this night. If you made your bet from last year, congrats 👏! If not... Time to prepare your compensation 😉.

For the new members you're definitely welcome! You can expect a night full of drinks, food, music and dancing 💃. Everybody who didn't make his bet from the past year has to bring/do something. So expect lots of food and drinks 🍺! (And maybe already think about a bet you want to make for next year 😉)
