A Year’s Worth of Inspiration

Buy a Women of Mountaineering Calendar | Fund a Dream

You can’t be what you don’t see. Representation and story telling are important, and it’s an area that’s sorely lacking when it comes to women in the big mountain arena. That’s why we are excited to bring to you the Women of Mountaineering Calendar - a high quality 8.5 x 11 print calendar that features women and non-binary mountaineers who are breaking trail in the mountains for all of us.

Proceeds from the Women of Mountaineering Calendar fund the Summit Scholarship program which, as of 2023, has created more than $80,000 in women’s mountaineering and backcountry adventure scholarships.
