Munro Pineapple Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Munro Pineapple Society (MPS) is a hillwalking and mountaineering club at the University of Nottingham. MPS was formed in the eighties by a faction of the University rambling society, Ramsoc, who broke away wanting to pursue more adventurous activities.
The core activity of MPS is Munro bagging, with the club making around 10 trips to Scotland each year to pursue this activity. The 'Pineapple' part of the name refers to some rocky outcrops in the peak district; Traditionally there is a competition in which club members attempt to boulder these. The club also does ice climbing, rock climbing and mountain marathons. Many members have built on expereince gained within the club to progress onto alpinism and more challenging mountaineering.
