Expedition Fund Application | Expedition Climbers Club

Expedition applications open immediately following the Remarkables Ice and Mixed Festival (RIMF) and close 1 week before the AGM prior to the RIMF.

Expeditions must have a minimum of 2 current ECC club members on the application. To receive ECC funding, a minimum of 4 club members must be present on the expedition at the date of departure. These 4 club members must have had a current membership at the time the expedition was voted on by the club. If less than 4 club members are present, then the ECC funding will be distributed pro-rata per person, and the remaining will be given to the runner-up expedition as voted on by the club.

All expeditions must depart between January 1 – December 31 in the year following the grant being received.

ECC Capital Fund funding will be paid once proof of flight tickets , relevant permits have been submitted to the ECC Club Committee.

ECC Capital Fund expeditions must allow other club members to join the expedition provided they have their own climbing partner and the suitable skills necessary to take part in the expedition. The Expedition leader will have the final say in terms of who can come.
