Murdoch is one of our most active younger members and you only have to look at last year's Journal to see the sort of thing he's been up to. Though climbing to a high standard in both summer and winter, in this talk he will be focusing on summer climbing on the Scottish crags and you can take it he will have some impressive photos to show us.
