The American Alpine Club is the country's largest community of climbers. We are a mission driven non-profit dedicated to supporting climbers and protecting the places we climb.

Whether you're inspired by the cutting-edge ascents in the American Alpine Journal (AAJ), keeping climbers safe through Accidents in North American Climbing, developing lodging facilities that secure affordable camping at America's iconic crags, or funding meaningful experiences through the AAC grant program—at our core, we are all part of the Club because we're just a tiny bit obsessed with climbing. This enduring passion for climbing ties us together and your investment has helped the Club to deliver on these initiatives for generations. 

Donate today and your contribution will help us to deliver on these initiatives for generations to come.
