The AAC publishes the definitive annual record of the world’s most significant climbs, the American Alpine Journal, and operates the Western Hemisphere’s largest mountaineering library and museum. Building on over a century of landmark conservation achievements, we recently co-founded the Alpine Conservation Partnership to protect high and wild places worldwide. The AAC runs the Grand Teton Climbers’ Ranch, provides global rescue services, stages events, plays a worldwide advocacy role as the US representative to the UIAA, and offers more grants to fund climbing expeditions than any other US organization.
