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).

The BCMC is rich with mountaineering history, much of which is documented in our newsletter and the B.C. Mountaineer Journal. To read past publications or sign up for the monthly newsletter, head over to our publications page.
