Meets

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.

Due to the Corona virus situation this meet has been cancelled


AC combined assault on the Dubh Slabs, 2019

A chance to visit the Cuillins of both Skye and Rum, with an initial weekend in Glencoe. This meet aims to take advantage of the UK’s most mountainous terrain with scrambling and rock climbing of all grades, and is one of the key meets in the Alpine Club’s diary.
 
This is a perfect opportunity to attempt traverses of the Skye and Rum Cuillins, with some of the most active members of the club. For most, Glencoe is en route to Skye, so the first weekend will provide a chance to enjoy climbing in the most famous of all Highland Glens. 
 
Book early! Lift shares may be available from London or Glasgow (or elsewhere), for those who may wish to book cheap advance train travel. There is the option to join for all or part of this meet.
