The object of the association is to encourage the pursuit of mountaineering in all its branches.

Membership Benefits

The MAM exists to help its members be active mountaineers. The MAM holds over 50 meets each year, mostly at its huts, but also elsewhere in the UK and abroad. A typical calendar of meets and some reports may be found at Reports and Meets.
