Description

This is a call out to anyone that is interested in being a MENTOR with the Summer Mentoring Programming in Summer 2026.  The mentoring program is about helping experienced beginner / intermediate climbers  develop the skills required to tackle more advanced objectives via mentorship from more experienced climbers.

We are looking  for both Alpine Climbing (Mountaineering)  and Rock Climbing mentors.  Ideally you are a past graduate of the Summer Mentoring Program, or have been climbing for 5 plus years, with ample experience and confidence in an alpine or rock climbing setting.  The program runs from April until September.  The ask is that you would be willing to spend a minimum of 2 days per month with your mentee, helping them develop the building blocks to achieve the goal that they will have set out for the season.  Any questions feel free to reach out.

If we haven’t climbed with you before, we will reach out to discuss your previous experience.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A PHYSICAL EVENT, WE WILL NOT BE MEETING AT THE TIME NOTED. THIS IS SIMPLY A PLACEHOLDER TO GUAGE INTEREST FROM THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEERS AS MENTORS IN THE PROGRAM
