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 MemberMeets
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.

To Sunday 04 August 2024
This is the fourth meet to Northumberland in recent years and once again sees the meet based around the most northerly crags covered in the Northumberland Mountaineering Club guide. The plan is to visit crags such as Bowden Doors, Back Bowden, Berryhill, and Kyloe.
Like last year, the aim will be to get out for some climbing on the Friday afternoon at one of the crags and for the meet to finish late afternoon on the Sunday. Members are of course welcome to simply join the meet for a day, or part of the weekend.
Although the crags are not at all alpine in scale, the rock climbing is delightful and the meet provides an opportunity to meet and climb with other members from all over the UK.
If you would like to come, either for the day or for the weekend, please get in touch and I will send you further details.
