The ACG is a section of the AC which caters for those currently climbing at a high standard in the Alps and Greater Ranges. The minimum qualification is three major summer alpine routes graded TD or above, or their equivalent elsewhere. All ACG members are automatically Full Members of the AC and are expected to remain active, at a high standard, in the mountains. Members who wish to retire from the ACG remain Full Members of the Alpine Club and may rejoin the ACG at any time simply by supplying adequate details of their most recent mountaineering activities. If you feel that you qualify for any of the categories of membership but do not have a proposer or seconder, fill in the appropriate application form and we will try to put you in touch with the necessary support.
Special arrangements exist in any case for candidates resident abroad.
The proposer is required to write a letter of support to the Hon. All applications should be accompanied by a letter of support from the proposer as specified on the appropriate application form, together with two passport-style photographs. One of these will be returned to you attached to your Membership Card, thus validating it for reduced rated at the huts of most European Alpine Clubs. Unless they have the strongest of objections, UK members are required to pay the subscription by Direct Debit. The Data Protection Act requires us to inform you that, if elected, relevant information will be held on the Club's computerised subscription and address list.
