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 Saturday 16 November 2024 - 09:30pm
A trip to the Moroccan anti-atlas has become a regular fixture of the AC calendar. It offers excellent climbing with reliable warm weather, in an interesting and friendly country. With all that, it's no wonder we keep going back.
Most of the climbing is multi-pitch trad and to get the best from the area you ideally want to be climbing at VS or above.
Attendees are welcome to come on their own or with a climbing partner, including guests.
For the first week we will be staying at the unique Kasbah Tizourgane hill fort which offers access to the northern areas. The second week will be based in a hotel in the town of Tafraoute further south.
Places: 16
