Harvard Mountaineering Club

Welcome!

The Harvard Mountaineering Club is dedicated to the pursuit of mountain adventure. In term-time, this can mean bouldering, rock climbing, ice climbing, stays in our Mt. Washington cabin, and more. During vacations the HMC organizes and subsidizes trips that range from sport climbing in Greece to big technical peaks in Alaska. On-campus, the Club offers weekly meetings, several speaker events a year, a library, a spacious and sociable clubroom, an extensive gear library, and a great way to find fellow adventurers. All levels of experience are welcome, from beginners to expert mountaineers. We are all about supporting our members' outdoor plans. What will your next adventure be?
