 On 22 December 1857 a group of British mountaineers met at Ashley's Hotel in London. All were active in the alps and instrumental to the development of alpine mountaineering during the latter half of the 19th century. It was at this meeting that the Alpine Club, under the chairmanship of Edward Kennedy, was born.
150 years later the Alpine Club continues, and its members remain extremely active in the alps and the greater ranges, as well as in mountain arts, literature and science. View the full 150th Diary.
