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!

Events Calendar
AC member and keen photographer Colin Beechey has enjoyed over 40 alpine holidays. This lecture, the 5th given by Colin in recent years, will describe a further selection of Alpine climbs mainly in the AD to D grades, on mountains above and below 4000m, in all regions of the Alps. As we all know, successful Alpine climbing needs luck with the weather, partners, fitness and conditions. Colin will describe climbs where these factors have played a part and have given a mixture of easy days, long days, failures and epics! Hopefully Colin’s talk will be a relaxing contrast to the recent Club lectures of heroic deeds in far off places.
