Alpine clubs or Mountaineering clubs?
The Alpine Club (UK) "is the world's first mountaineering club. It is UK mountaineering's acknowledged 'senior club'." "On 22 December 1857 a group of British mountaineers met at Ashley's Hotel in London. All were active in the Alps and instrumental in the development of alpine mountaineering during the golden age of alpinism (1854–1865). " 'Alpine' was quite correctly used in the name as most of their climbing took place in the European Alps. On the other hand to apply 'Alpine' to a general mountaineering category is incorrect and misleading. How did this come about? Paul venter (talk) 13:22, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
