RAF Mountaineering

The Royal Air Force Mountaineering Association (RAFMA) is the representative body for mountaineering within the RAF and forms the core of the Service Mountaineering community; which is the oldest of the single Service mountaineering clubs.

It is also a lively, sociable and active mountaineering club for service personnel (including reserve forces), dependents and retired members. We have around 450 members, with serving members found all over the world and across all ranks. Some love to crush plastic indoors, others prefer walking in red socks, some do both; as well as taking on major high-altitude expeditions.

The RAFMA are affiliated to the British Mountaineering Council (BMC) – join the association and get club membership of the BMC, plus handy discounts with companies such as DMM Climbing and Mountain Equipment.
