Expedition grants available from the Mazamas

[caude]

I'm trying to spread awareness of the following grant available from the Mazama Expedition Committee. If you are planning a significant climb or expedition for 2010 please take a look and consider applying.

 

Alpine Adventure Grant

 

This grant is for non-Mazama members and members alike. The goal of this grant is to promote adventurous climbing and provide resources for climbers to explore and attempt challenging climbs. While trips do not need to be at the leading edge of alpinism, special consideration will be given to expeditions contributing to the sport of mountaineering and alpine climbing by attempting new routs or significant repeat ascents. Weighted consideration will be given to climbs exploring off the beaten path and lesser know mountain ranges of the world. Climbers do not have to be Mazama members to be eligible for this expedition grant.

 

Application Deadline is December 31

As one who benefited from this very program in 1980, '81, and '82, I can highly recommend it! The application and post climb requirements were fairly minimal - and the grants I was awarded, along with more from the AAC, and "pro" deals from gear places, made my early expeditions in Canada & Alaska possible. And I've never been a Mazama member! GO FOR IT!!!
