PARTNER. Unite. Support. Give.

The American Alpine Club is committed to supporting and inspiring climbers from their first days on the rock through a lifetime of climbing. The work we do has the endorsement, in the form of financial support, from a multitude of industry leaders. The unrestricted money we raise each year from our partners is essential to the core operations of the AAC: national and international advocacy and conservation work, publications like the American Alpine Journal and Accidents in North American Mountaineering, and events like the Craggin' Classic and International Climbers' Meet that keep the spirit of climbing thriving. Partnerships also put us in a better position to provide logistical support like Global Rescue service, places to stay like the Grand Teton Climbers' Ranch, and grants to support new adventures.

If your company is not yet an AAC Partner, we invite you to learn more about the mutual benefits of the program by downloading our 2011 Industry Partners Brochure: 2011 Summer IndPtnrBrochure (1).pdf (.PDF). You can contact Sarah Wood (303-384-0110 ext: 18) at the AAC to enroll today.

We are tremendously grateful to our Partners. Next time you're contacting one of them, please be sure to thank them for their support of the AAC and its work to preserve the future of climbing.
