RAISING FUNDS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION

SheJumps Mt. Rainier Climb contributes to the nonprofit’s Wild Skills program. Wild Skills youth events teach young girls the survival and technical skills they need for outdoor adventuring. Our events encourage girls to learn new skills, take on challenges and think creatively which develops perseverance and fosters confidence. The funds raised from this climb will help further this vision.

A $400 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your space. Upon submitting your $400 deposit, you will be notified of your acceptance to the climb and directed to complete the Participation Agreement.

Each climber agrees to fundraise $3500 for SheJumps Wild Skills youth initiative. This Eventbrite registration/application is in conjunction with your deposit (paid here through Eventbrite).

Each climber must provide their own transportation to Ashford, WA - carpooling opportunities will be provided. Gratuity for the guides is not included, please budget accordingly; it's greatly appreciated. We highly recommend also purchasing trip insurance for this event.

Wild Skills youth events teach young girls the survival and technical skills they need for outdoor adventuring. These skills can be applied in any season and include first aid, navigation, leave no trace and shelter building. Our events encourage girls to learn new skills, take on challenges and think creatively which develops perseverance and fosters confidence.

Do you have an itinerary?

Focusing on team building and training, the first two days prepare us for our climb with an afternoon orientation and a Mountaineering Day School. We then ascend Mt. Rainier's lower slopes to Camp Muir (10,060'), where we stay for the evening and prepare for the climb ahead. On summit day, an alpine start brings us up the Disappointment Cleaver route to the mountain's summit. We then safely descend and celebrate over cold drinks & a hearty meal!

Is food provided on the trip?

No. You need to plan for food througout your adventure. Whittaker Mountaineering does offer a meal plan option. Read more about it here: https://www.whittakermountaineering.com/meal-packages/4-day-muir-summit-climb-meal-package
