Getting Involved

The MMC is a social, multi-generational mountaineering club rather than a training organisation. The applicant must be over 18 and an active, independent mountaineer at the time of the application. We ask that you fulfil one of the following criteria:

  1. Activity on the high mountains of the British Isles in all weather conditions (Low-level valley walking, mountain biking, climbing inside on walls or guided activity would not normally suffice.)

  2. Climbing graded rock and/or graded winter climbs of any difficulty

  3. Ski-mountaineering or ski touring on high-level routes in mountain areas (piste skiing does not count)

For winter activities it is essential for you to bring the appropriate equipment (ice axe, crampons, goggles and warm clothing) and have the skills to use it.

If you wish to develop your skills, we can recommend providers and, of course, you will develop those skills as you go out in the company of experienced members.

If you've had a good look around the site and are still keen to get involved then contact The Membership Secretary who will be happy to talk you through the membership process.
