Our 2019 Guidebook to Membership is here! The Guidebook serves as a storyboard and yearbook as well as a literal guidebook to Club member benefits. The majority of each issue is dedicated to member photos and stories, working to define (and redefine) the ever-changing faces of American climbing and the Club that serves to unite them. From mountain art to community issues to conservation and advocacy stories, the Guidebook covers many important topics from a unique member-perspective. So, flip on through and get inspired. You might even find a new discount that you didn't even know you had.

Some stories we’re particularly excited about this year include:

  • Art for the In-Betweens: Artist Spotlight, by Brooklyn Bell

  • Navajo Rising: An Indigenous Emergence Story, by Aaron Mike

  • Glacial Views: A Climate Scientist Reflects, by Seth Campbell

  • 1Climb, Infinite Potential: Kevin Jorgeson Breaks Down Walls by Building them

  • On Pushing: A Grief Story, by Madaleine Sorkin

  • An Ode to Mobility: the Range of Motion Project Tackles Cotopaxi, by Lauren Panasewicz

…and there’s so much more, including tear-out-and-send policy postcards by Jill Pelto.
