"This was an outstanding climb. My third trip with AAI on Rainier and second on Muir. This climb is well planned, supported and carried out. The guides are personable, very helpful and easy to be around." Fred Hutchinson Climber, Rainier 2012
Fundraising with Alpine Ascents
Over the past 20 years, we've been hosting discounted climbs for non-profit organizations. Climbers raise money for their organizations (often finding donors that give a flat rate or per foot rate), and then hire Alpine Ascents to lead the fundraising climb. In turn, Alpine Ascents discounts the climb so a larger portion of the money raised can stay with the non-profit.
This has been a very successful fundraising tool for many groups. Many of our non-profits have commented that this is a more satisfying fundraising experience overall.
