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 Member
As a recent recruit to the Alpine Club, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect from my first club meet to the George Starkey hut in Patterdale, or for that matter from the impending weather forecast for the Lake District.
We're pleased to announce one of the winners for the 2015 Banff Mountain Book and Film Festival is Alpinist contributor Ed Douglas. Douglas's "Crazy Wisdom" from Issue 49—Spring 2015 won best Mountaineering Article.
For the 4th year now there was a joint Scottish winter meet of the AC and the Alpine Club of Marseille Provence.
