INFORMATION ABOUT THE CLUB AND HOW TO JOIN IT

The "4000's Club" was founded in 1993 by Luciano Ratto and Franco Bianco (see "Rivista del CAI", November-December 1993) with the aim to serve as a reference guide and meeting point for all "collectors" of summits higher than 4000 meters, useful to exchange information, documents, and experiences on the 4000's of the Alps.

At present the Club 4000 is a Group of the Club Alpino Italiano, Section of Torino, according to specific Regulations. Other information can be found in the letter sent to all members and in the CAI Torino Bullettin "Monti e Valli".

To join the Club, mountaineers must have climbed at least 30 summits (as opposed to the originally 50...) out of the 82 reported in the official list acknowleged by U.I.A.A.
