Whether you are new to the area, new to climbing, or looking to volunteer with the AMC Boston Chapter Mountaineering Committee, we'd love to meet you. The best way to get involved is to attend one of our events. We produce a number of activities where you can meet other members of the AMC Boston climbing community and learn more about our programs, trips, and volunteering opportunities.
