Frank Winder joined the Irish Mountaineering Club (IMC) shortly after its founding in 1948, and quickly became one of its leading members.
In 1957, with the aid of a grant from the Guinness brewing company (which remains a major supplier of refreshments to the club's members), the club purchased a farmhouse at Glendasan, near Glendalough, County Wicklow, and converted it into a mountain hut, to be run by the Dublin section.
