The Alpine Club

The Alpine Club, founded in 1857 in London, is one of the world's oldest mountaineering organizations. It was established to promote the sport of climbing and to facilitate the exploration of mountains. The club brings together climbers and mountaineers of all skill levels, offers resources like guides and training, and encourages adventure in the outdoors. Members share a passion for mountaineering, partake in expeditions, and contribute to discussions on climbing ethics and safety. The Alpine Club also preserves the history of climbing through its archives and publications.
