The Mazama mission is to inspire everyone to love and protect the mountains.

The Climbing Committee supports this mission directly by encouraging volunteer participation in official Mazama climbing activities, reducing risk through a culture of learning, and cultivating fellowship through welcoming and inclusive climbing experiences.

Climbing Outreach activities:

  • provide volunteer, mentoring, and learning opportunities to climb leaders, participants at all stages in our leader development program, and graduates of our various educational programs
  • create opportunities to build positive and inclusive climbing experiences for Mazama members and non-members, youth and adults
  • share the joy of climbing with the extended community, inspiring more people to love and protect the mountains
