The EMC is a small group of experienced outdoor enthusiasts. Our activities are focused on weekends away (“Meets“) in Scotland and further afield, mid-week climbing and a monthly catch-up in the pub. We have around 80 members, most of whom are based in Edinburgh and we have a diverse range of interests including hillwalking, climbing, running, skiing and cycling.
We welcome enquiries from new members who are over the age of 18 and who accept responsibility for their own safety in the mountains.
For more information, please consult the New Members FAQ and Meets FAQ, and contact our Membership Secretary.
