In reply to edd_5:
There are a few climbing/mountaineering clubs in Aberdeen and NE Scotland, but I'll give a mention to the Cairngorm Club. Good mix of hillwalkers and climbers, with weekly climbing meets on the coast/indoor walls, bus and car meets to local/local-ish hills and weekend meets further afield, plus monthly indoor meets/slide shows over the winter. The club website includes the forthcoming meets calendar - https://www.cairngormclub.org.uk/
