Our Executive Team

With seven years of adventure under my belt, I’ve climbed, scrambled, and navigated my way through some of the best times this mountain club has to offer! Whether I’m scaling rock faces or getting lost (on purpose) in the thrill of rogaining, I’m always up for a challenge. As the president, I love bringing people together to share in the excitement of the great outdoors—because what’s better than pushing limits and having fun while doing it? See you on the mountain!

Hi, my name is Martin. I am finishing my 5th year of chemical engineering this year. I am into climbing and cycling. For me, the joy of adventure comes from the unknown. I like climbing because I love the feeling of my mind going blank as soon as I step onto the wall. I like to be inspired by the way something looks or feels. With the difficulty of a route taking more of a back seat. Feel free to talk to me about your adventures, adventure ideas, or general queries about club trips.

Hi! I'm Ruby, and I've been in the club since the dark ages of COVID (2020). I work in a high school, but love to escape the maths classroom on weekends and go hiking, rogaining, canyoning, climbing... anything! When I'm not outside I love watching F1, listening to some Eurovision music or doing a jigsaw. Cannot wait to meet you all this year, get sponsors, grants and the community engaged! 

Hey, how’s it going? My name is Lleyton, and I have been with the club since 2023,

and I’ve loved every second of it! I am studying a Bachelor of Engineering/ Master of Engineering at UQ, but I take great pride in my ability to ignore that fact and get outdoors as often as humanly possible. I’m a bang average climber, so by all means ask me for tips, then watch me do the complete opposite. As well as climbing, I have

also developed an addiction to falling off of good waves on my surfboard. I’m an avid nerd that has read most fantasy books written in the last half century, and I also enjoy playing my clarinet and alto saxophone. You’ll most likely see me hanging around KP nights, talking loudly and falling off of cool looking climbs! This year should be sick, so come chat to me! Get keen!

Hello, I'm Angelina.

Hi, I’m Sam! I’ve been with the club since 2022 (except for the time I went to Melbourne but we don’t talk about that). I’m passionate about climbing, hiking, and general adventuring / frolicking / gallivanting, and I’m excited to help everyone learn the new skills you need to stay safe and have fun during all of the above! When I’m not outdoors, you’ll find me working on my PhD, reading fantasy books as part of my PhD, reading different fantasy books to AVOID doing my PhD, or snacking. Keen to see you all out there!

Heyo, I’m Elissa. In my dreams I onsight the dawn wall and when I wake it’s not before 8am please. I love the outdoors but the only time you’ll catch me hiking is if it’s on the way to the crag. At uni, I’m a design student with about two years to go until I complete my three year degree that I started four years ago, & when I’m not studying I’m scrolling on traveltok. Make sure to hit me up when you’re keen for some skill development, a sport climb, or a starry portaledge sleepover!! See y’all at KP!

Hi, I'm Dean. I am a type-2-fun enjoyer and adventuring enthusiast - multi/day hikes, and climbing. I am also a keen road cyclist! When I am not trying to add or build outdoor skills into my repertoire, I work as a programmer doing front-end development. I am excited to share experiences of the amazing outdoor places in South East Queensland and Australia with you guys.
 

Hi, I’m Remi! I’ve been a member of the club since 2023, and I’m hooked on canyoning and multi-day hiking. Multisport Coordinator is a new role on the executive team, overseeing activities such as canyoning, bikepacking, rogaines, and trail running. I studied nursing and paramedicine at uni, and when I’m not at work or out in the great outdoors, I’m probably planning my next adventure. Looking forward to an awesome year—come say hi!

I am Maddy- short for MAD keen about climbing and hiking. I’m have recently graduated from UQ, into full-time bumming. Find me at KP to chat about outdoor adventures. Get stoked for Rogaines, bike trips, and multi-day hikes this year! 

I'm Conan! I've been a member for just over a year now but have been climbing, skiing, falling, and punting for the better part of 5 years. Although my Canadian roots have left me longing for snow and ice, I've learned to embrace Australian climbing. When I'm not climbing I'm either focusing on my PhD, riding my bike, or pitch side at Suncorp taking pretty pictures. I look forward to meeting everyone this year and if you want cool adventure photos or to be featured on the Instagram I like almond croissants.

G'day legends

My name is Ryan and I'm the social events coordinator this year. That means I'll be pestering you all to get around our welcome parties, challenges, trip reports and movie nights. I'm in my 7th year at UQ so I've got a few grey hairs and plenty of wisdom to share. I joined the club in 2023 and froth a boulder (the bloke below me is stupid); you'll find me every other night at urban climb too. Hope you all are keen for a year of cracking events. 

Sup, I'm Ronan the quartermaster. I'm the guy in charge of taking care of all the clubs gear and I rule it with an iron fist. But for pleasure I love getting out to the great outdoors climbing, canyoning, surfing, slacklining and much more. I've been in the club since the tail end of 2022 and have loved it. I'm a regular at the climbing gym and Kangaroo Point so you'll probably find me there and looking forward to the adventures we'll get up to this year.
