Alpine Club Expeditions
In addition to supporting a limited number of private Members' expeditions, the Alpine Club organises annual expeditions to often remote and little-known mountain areas (See List below). In contrast to the private expeditions, the latter are open to all members, subject to qualifying criteria and numbers. Each year up to three private expeditions and at least one Alpine Club Expedition will be subsidised by the AC Climbing Fund, which is generously supported by First Ascent.

2) CLUB EXPEDITIONS SUPPORTED BY THE AC CLIMBING FUND (These may also be listed in the "Meets" pages)
Antarctica - AC Open expedition
4 -30 January 2013
The plan is to explore the unclimbed peaks of Beascochea Bay (south of the Lemaire Channel is very unexplored terrain) and Flandres Bay. The cost would be approx £8,200 per person including. 4 nights accommodation in Ushuaia, camping gas, food (excluding freeze-dried meals) and small contingency; plus flights and insurance.
AC Open Expedition to the Kagbhusandi Valley, India
8 September - 14 October 2012
The team plan to explore the unclimbed mountains surrounding the Kagbhusandi valley with a major focus on Barmal, which at 5879m is the highest mountain bordering the valley. If conditions allow it may be possible to make what is believed would be the second (and first British) ascent of Oti-ka-danda (5782m) via a new route from the west. There are numerous rock summits and pinnacles encircling the valley that should provide ample opportunities for a team of our size to spread out and explore widely.
