BMC Membership Benefits

BMC members receive a plethora of discounts on maps, accommodation, gear and huts though our benefits scheme.

As mountaineers we value and enjoy the natural environment, but the pursuit of mountaineering can be at odds with its protection. The BMC is working hard to promote sustainable practices and make a strong stand to protect the environment. As an organisation and community it highlights the issues, holds individuals and groups to account, and offers alternatives. I really value the work they are doing in this area.

Join a mountaineering club

There are hundreds of climbing clubs around England and Wales you can join. Find out more and use our local club finder.

Explore nationwide huts

List of expedition grants

The BMC provides grants for international expeditions. These funds have been split into two separate funding streams. The first is to support British people from under-represented groups going on mountaineering expeditions. The second is to support British people going on innovative high-level mountaineering expeditions.
