Newcomers are welcome to join our meets as a 'Prospective' before deciding to become a member. This gives you a chance to see if you like us and our meets. You can come to as many meets as you like before becoming a KMC member. We don't do instruction, tuition or coaching. If you're a complete beginner, take a short course to get the basics in whichever discipline you're interested in. To attend our climbing meets, you should be able to tie in and belay competently.

People who come to our meets before becoming KMC members are called Prospectives. As a Prospective, you will receive 3 months of free BMC Third Party Liability Insurance. After 3 months, you must pay the BMC fee or become a KMC Associate Member to stay insured if you wish to continue to attend KMC Meets.
 

How this works:

Register online in advance of your first meet. Your 3 months of free BMC Third Party Liability Insurance will start on the date you attend your first meet. We will send you information to pay your BMC fee 8 weeks after you attend your first meet, so that you stay covered.
