Every year The American Alpine Club gives out the Live Your Dream grant.

Founded in 2012, the Live Your Dream grant is the first national grant program to support and promote unforgettable experiences for climbers—specifically, experiences that provide the skills and confidence to realize one’s climbing ambitions; to dream big, to grow as climbers, and to inspire others.

This year we were lucky enough to be selected as grant recipients from the North East region.  So, on this trip, we are officially ambassadors of the American Alpine club!
