About Red Rope

Red Rope is a national club for socialist walkers and climbers. We have around 500 members all over the country, and there are over a hundred trips each year: day walks and climbs, weekend and week-long trips to the mountains.

Every member receives a monthly list of walks, climbs, social events and meetings.

Red Rope is unique among outdoor clubs because:

·         Membership and trip charges are all scaled according to income. Currently there are eight income bands, see membership charges for details.

·         Red Rope welcomes walkers and climbers of all abilities. You don't need to be experienced to join, just enthusiastic and willing to join in and contribute.

·         We campaign on issues affecting outdoor activities, particularly access to the countryside.

·         Trips, transport and cooking are arranged for the whole group - reducing costs and sharing the work and responsibility.

·         Red Rope supports child carers: children are welcome on most trips and child-care can usually be arranged if required.

·         Red Rope is organised regionally under the umbrella of the national club. Members join their closest region, but are welcome to go on trips run by other regions. National trips are open to everyone.
