Barts and The London Alpine Club is a group for climbers, hikers and anyone that has an appreciation of the outdoors. We aim to provide people of all abilities the chance to join us for an outdoor adventure.
We would love to see you on our monthly escapes out into the mountains. We spend the weekend at an alpine hut and fill the days with outdoor activities and the evenings with good food and games.
We also have regular climbing and bouldering sessions at Mile End Climbing Wall and other London locations.
We are an incredibly friendly and outgoing community of students and alumni; if there's something you are keen to try then just ask our club members!
