Welcome
The nights are drawing out, so now’s the time for making plans for the summer. And if you need help or advice why not think about contacting the BMC? We'll do our best to help with any technical queries - be it about access arrangements, insurance, medical issues or equipment. You'll also find a whole host of useful information on our website.

To help things along this year we've also made some significant improvements to our travel insurance scheme for climbers and walkers, and have cut prices across the whole range of policies.

BMC Better Bolts Campaign
The condition of fixed equipment on many of our classic routes has reached a terrible state. On some routes the corroded or damaged bolts are over 20 years old. Some climbs are now unclimbable in the manner that the first ascentionist intended. So what are we doing about it?
