Meets

Here is a list of Alpine Club meets. Select additional pages using the numbers at the bottom. A list of past meets is can be seen by clicking here.

The Meets programme provides great opportunities for fellow members to get to know each other in the climbing areas of the UK and the mountains of the world.  UK meets in particular offer the chance for members to drop in, even if it's just for an evening drink.

New members have often attended meets as guests of members before they joined and their presence on meets is particularly welcome both to widen their circle of acquaintance and to assist with maintaining that tradition of openness to prospective members. Non-members may attend meets as guests of members at the discretion of the meet coordinator.

Before attending please read the Meet Guidelines.

Rick Allen Skills Award Lake District Training Weekend
From Friday 02 May 2025
To Monday 05 May 2025
Contact Nick Hurndall Smith & Tom Davis-Merry
Friday 02 May 2025


This meet, held at the George Starkey Hut, is open to all members and will coincide with a training weekend for recipients of the 2025 Rick Allen Skills Award (RASA).

Recipients of the award will spend the weekend on training, and some hut-based elements of this will be open to all. 

Rick Allen Skills Award 

The training weekend based at the George Starkey Hut will be led by AC Vice President Nick Kekus. It will be used to confirm participants’ ability, experience and fitness, and serve to help with preparation. Topics will include bivouac skills and moving together, and an explanation of the gear required (lightweight sleeping bag etc) for a two day route involving a bivouac. The weekend will include a bivouac on a Lakeland multi-pitch route. Participants are expected to bring bivvy kit and plan to use it. The goal will be to hit the ground running once in the Alps, so as to make the best use of weather windows right from the start.

 

RASA participants will receive their booking details via This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. once they are accepted onto the 2025 programme.
