WELCOME

In 1957 against a backdrop of ardent new-routeing in the European Alps and the vigorous development of rock climbing standards in Britain, the formation of a mountaineering club was proposed. The proposal was fronted by Colonel Gerry Finch, Major Hugh Robertson and Second Lieutenant Chris Bonington.

Today the AMA supports and organises large scale expeditions, such as first ascents in the Indian Himalaya and making the first british ski ascent of Shishapagma (8,012m). Other activities such as the annual Army bouldering, the Joint Services Alpine Meet, sports climbing competitions and smaller alpine expeditions also take place.  This diversity is due to the fact that the AMA is run by, and for, its members, all of whom are encouraged to organise and attend mountaineering events across the United Kingdom and the worldwide.  To find out more about the AMA's history click here.
