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!

In 2023 and 2024, Tom Davis-Merry organised two Alpine Club Greater Ranges meets to Peru and Bolivia, respectively. These meets blend classic and technical mountaineering above 6,000m with Latin American culture and the opportunity for big adventures at relatively low cost. In this lecture, Tom will share his stories from the world's largest mountain range, along with a more practical discussion about one of his favourite topics - climbing logistics and expedition planning.
All are welcome to attend and the talk is free for AC and Eagle Ski Club members and students on production of a valid NUS card. Non-members are asked to make a donation of £5 towards the cost of the lecture.
You are welcome to join us for a drink & bar meal downstairs in the bar from 6.30pm
