York Alpine Club
York Alpine Club was founded in 1981, and exists for the encouragement of all kinds of mountain activities, including walking, climbing, skiing and biking, and is affiliated to the BMC. We pride ourselves on being friendly and welcoming to new members, whatever your level of experience.

We meet on Thursday evenings at Brigantes Bar, 114 Micklegate, York (map) from 9.30 p.m. onwards.

The Club's calendar of activities includes:

  • Weekend meets, staying in huts or camping
  • Sunday walks
  • Mid-week evening and weekend climbing, on local crags in the summer and at Leeds and York climbing walls during the winter
  • Regular social events

In addition, groups of members take part in many other outdoor pursuits, including mountain biking, road biking, orienteering, and caving.

Check our blog to see what we have been up to recently.
