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!

In 1994 Paul Pritchard, Noel Craine, Steve Quinlan and Jordi Tosas made the first ascent of the west face of Mount Asgard (2015m) on Baffin Island. Paul, who lives in Tasmania, is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the epic ascent with the original 1994 35mm slide show lecture (now digitised) that he and Noel Craine took around the UK.
