The Alpine Club, the world’s first mountaineering club, was founded in 1857. For over 150 years, members have been at the leading edge of worldwide mountaineering development and exploration.
With membership, experienced and aspiring alpinists benefit from a varied meets programme, regional lectures with notable guest speakers, reduced rates at many alpine huts, opportunity to apply for grants to support expeditions, significant discounts at many UK retailers, extensive networking contacts, access to the AC Library and maps - and more!
Becoming a MemberMeets
Here is a list of Alpine Club meets. Select additional pages using the numbers at the bottom. A list of past meets is can be seen by clicking here.
The Meets programme provides great opportunities for fellow members to get to know each other in the climbing areas of the UK and the mountains of the world. UK meets in particular offer the chance for members to drop in, even if it's just for an evening drink.
New members have often attended meets as guests of members before they joined and their presence on meets is particularly welcome both to widen their circle of acquaintance and to assist with maintaining that tradition of openness to prospective members. Non-members may attend meets as guests of members at the discretion of the meet coordinator.
Before attending please read the Meet Guidelines.

Events Calendar
To Sunday 19 September 2021
This is the perfect opportunity to explore some of the lesser-known crags and scrambles of the
Eastern Fells, with Eagle Crag, Hutaple Crag, and Scrubby Crag all close by, and the classic scrambles
of Pinnacle Ridge and the Helvellyn Edges pretty much on the doorstep too. On the off-chance that it
might be too wet for climbing, there’s great fellwalking.
Saturday evening meal will be a Jacob’s Join (Google it if you’re not from Cumbria!), but you will be
responsible for all of your other meals, and there are pubs nearby to help with this.
We’re hoping that some members will be keen to host a slide show of their recent adventures for
entertainment on Saturday night.
