Piolet Society
Leave a Legacy
The AAC is rich in history, tradition, and acheivement. Past AAC members include some of the world's finest climbers, scholars and community leaders.
The strength of the AAC today is attributable to these members' passion, foresight, and commitment to the AAC remaining a vital and active organization well beyond their lifetimes.
The Piolet Society
Much of the AAC's ongoing work to promote climbing knowledge, conserve climbing environments, and serve the climbing community is made possible through bequests from past AAC members. To recognize this special level of support, we created The Piolet Society. Anyone leaving a planned gift to the AAC becomes a member of this prestigious group and is recognized in a variety of ways.
It is easy for you to join The Piolet Society. Your own bequest, no matter how large or small, allows you entrance and provides crucial support for AAC initiatives. If you are interested in setting up a bequest, please contact:
