The Fell & Rock Climbing Club is the premier rock climbing and mountaineering club in the English Lake District. The Club was founded in 1906-07 and the first informal meeting was held at the Sun Inn, Coniston on the 11th November 1906. The first Meet was at the Wastwater Hotel on the 30th March 1907. Today, this highly active club has over 1200 members who are spread all over the world but who found their mountaineering origins in the Lakes.
The Club has been publishing a definitive series of climbing guides to the Lakes since 1922. Members can enjoy the club's 7 huts and 3 cottages in the Lakes and Scotland. Each year, over 40 meets are held throughout the world.
Kindred Club members may use our huts subject to our bookings policy for kindred clubs.
