The Alpine Club and outdoor clothing brand Montane provide funding to support expeditions led by or including Alpine Club members through two funding streams: the Alpine Club Climbing Fund (ACCF) and the Montane Alpine Club Climbing Fund (MACCF). Details of these schemes can be found on our Funding Page.

A list of ACCF & MACCF supported expeditions from 2010 to the present day are shown below, along with their acompanying expedition reports.

Alpine Club members are constantly researching, organising and participating in expeditions to mountains around the world. There is therefore a massive wealth of knowledge about remote areas and expedition planning amongst our members. The Alpine Club provides a number of resources that will be useful for those planning or researching expeditions. This page provides links to these resources, and to other sites that are invaluable to expedition planners.

Alpine Club Expeditions

The Alpine Club organises annual expeditions to often remote and little-known mountain areas. These expeditions are open to all members, subject to qualifying criteria and numbers. They can be subsidised by the Montane Alpine Club Climbing Fund. The fund also supports expeditions privately organised by club members.

Read more about Expedition Reports

Expeditions which have obtained MEF grants (and this is a fair proportion of them) will have sent a report to the MEF. These are just from 1999 onwards and can be identified only if you know the actual year of the expedition. There are summaries on the website but the MEF do not hold actual copies. These are distributed to the organisations below.

Alpine Club

The AC library has a comprehensive collection of reports from the MEF and other sources. This covers the period 1959 to 2005. After 2005 the expeditions database has not been updated since the same information is available elsewhere. Later reports are often held on CD as well as paper. An alternative is the general Library Catalogue although the copy on the internet is not always fully up to date. The latest version can be viewed, on request, by visiting the library. Searching the library catalogue does not always produce the results you might expect, and includes books as well as reports. Once a report has been identified it can be viewed by visiting the library, or alternatively photo copies can be obtained - contact the librarian.
