British Mountaineering Council
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British Mountaineering Council (or BMC) is the national representative body of the UK that exists to protect the freedoms and promote the interests of climbers, hillwalkers and mountaineers, including ski-mountaineers. Its headquarters are in Didsbury, an area of Manchester, England.
The organisation was formed in order to represent the interests of climbing clubs and primarily maintain access for climbers to climb on a mountain, a crag, or a sea cliff in the UK.
The organisation now has two types of membership; those that are affiliated via a club and those that are individual members. The organisation provides a range of benefits to members including insurance cover for mountaineering and climbing, training, technical advice and grant funding for an expedition.
The BMC also produces rock climbing guidebooks to some parts of the UK primarily, the Peak District and Lancashire.
