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!

Ronnie talks about a first-time trip to the Himalaya, and what it takes for a "5’4” female with distinctly average climbing ability" to get up a technical 6,812m peak. Plus lots of photos of arguably the most beautiful mountain in the world!
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
