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 Member
 

Since its foundation in 1857 there have always been members of the Alpine Club who have carried sketch-books into the mountains, keeping a record of their endeavours and the peaks they had climbed. In 'The Artists of the Alpine Club' Peter Mallalieu brings together descriptions of these artists with many beautiful illustrations of their work to create a gorgeous, informative work perfect for any climber's coffee table.

The book is available to order directly from the Alpine Club for £15.00 plus £4.50 postage and packaging. (Alternatively, you can arrange with us to collect your order from our Shoreditch premises.)
