Welcome to the B.C. Mountaineering Club
Since 1907, the British Columbia Mountaineering Club (BCMC) has been the home for those who find their rhythm on the ascent and their peace in the alpine. We are a community-driven, volunteer-run collective dedicated to exploring the rugged beauty of BC's Mountains. Whether it's an expedition to a remote corner of the range, a training run up Grouse Mountain or a scramble up Sky Pilot, the BCMC offers countless possibilities to explore the mountains and nature around us.

About Us
BCMC is one of the oldest outdoor clubs in British Columbia with over 100 years of tradition. Since its establishment in 1907, our members have blazed new routes, made first ascents and explored near and far corners of the Coast Mountains and beyond.
In September 2019 the BCMC reached a milestone of 1,300+ active member accounts. Our members are active in hiking, backpacking, climbing, mountaineering, mountain biking and backcountry skiing. Our trip schedule offers a variety of activities throughout the year from easy hikes to technical climbs.
Looking for climbing partners? Branching into mountaineering? Join one of our trips or visit us at our monthly social at ANZA Club, 3 West 8th Ave every second Tuesday of the month at 7:30pm (except for July & August).
