BMC Peak Area
About the Peak Area
Welcome to the Peak area. The Peak Area is right at the heart of the British climbing and hill walking community. The five meetings a year are spread throughout the region giving as many people as possible the opportunity to attend at least one. Attendance is usually around 40-50, and the debate is always lively, but friendly. Every meeting sees new faces which is essential if we are to keep evolving and meeting the needs of what is one of the biggest concentrations of climbers anywhere in the world.
In addition to the meetings we organise litter picks, crag clean-up sessions, and the odd social. If you've got an interest in climbing in your local area get along to one meeting a year and get as involved as you feel comfortable with.
Upcoming Peak Area meetings
Area Meetings are run by volunteers and provide an opportunity for you to discuss issues and influence decisions affecting climbers and walkers locally and nationally, and to meet like-minded people and enjoy a sociable night out (or 'in' on Zoom). Area Meetings also provide the platform for election to a range of volunteer roles within the BMC.

Area volunteers undertake vital roles in the democratic structure of the BMC and the work we do on behalf of members and the wider climbing, hill walking and mountaineering community. Each area holds an AGM, at which elections for a range of volunteer roles are held, and outside of these meetings, members can be co-opted into roles.
