What are the benefits of becoming an FRCC member?

  • The opportunity to meet like-minded people for shared mountains days. A chance to benefit from the wide-ranging knowledge and experience of our climbers, mountaineers and fell walkers during meets, in huts or through our publications.
  • An extensive and varied programme of over 70 meets a year, a mixture of midweek day, weekend and longer meets, both in the UK and abroad.
  • Dedicated family meets for those with children.
  • The FRCC Huts (five in the Lake District, with three separate cottages, and two in Scotland) are well equipped and maintained, and are available to all members. 
  • Reciprocal access to the huts of a number of other Clubs in the UK.
  • A members-only Facebook group, e-Newsletters, a quarterly Chronicle (members newsletter) and biennual Journal.  
  • Discounts on FRCC, CC and SMC climbing guidebooks. 
  • Opportunity to apply for the Annual FRCC Expedition Grant. 
  • BMC Affiliation – your subscription includes Club membership of the British Mountaineering Council which gives you third party liability insurance cover.  
  • Discounts at some climbing/outdoor gear shops.
  • Opportunity to put something back into climbing and mountaineering by contributing to the Club, both ensuring the Club’s future and becoming part of the FRCC history: the Committee is always keen to hear from members who want to help.
