Testimonials

It’s an incredible feeling. At-risk kids will stare up at the Milky Way for the first time because of the money we raised. Tony F. Mt. Rainier 2006

The friendships will last a lifetime It was the encouragement of my teammates that helped me keep climbing. The friendships that developed on the mountain and during the training hikes will last a lifetime. April Y. Mt. Whitney 2007

The beauty of the peak… …and the importance of BAWT’s mission made this the most important climb of my life. Shane, Mt. Shasta 2003

I can’t describe the feeling… I can’t describe the feeling I get from looking back up at a mountain knowing that I got to the top. Every smile you share with other climbers holds an unspoken understanding that you are sharing something incredibly hard and rewarding. Kate O. – Mt. Shasta 2006

Standing on the summit Standing on the summit of Mt. Whitney really made me understand how fortunate we all are to share the wilderness. Matt M. Mt. Whitney
