Climb for Your Favorite Charity
If you would rather climb for a charity of your choice, we can arrange your trek on any day of the year, and AWR will donate $50/climber to your charity. We can help your charity climb with group rates, providing detailed information on raising funds, sponsoring t-shirts, and helping with your travel plans. A fund-raising trek is an adventurous once-in-a-lifetime experience for participants while serving a humanitarian or environmental cause.
Here are examples of past charity climbs:
