The Mountaineers organization that we are each a part of put together a nice little promotional video featuring many of our friends, in advance of a fundraiser they held a few weeks ago. Check it out below – and then go back to 0:11 and check out that risky-ass “standing belay” the fellow on the left is doing (while standing directly next to the crevasse!) for the fellow on the right. Whew! Dodgy old buggers…

The Mountaineers have a rich history of exploration, education, and conservation. We believe getting outside transforms all of us in some way – spending time in nature can give each one of us with our own breakthrough moment. We volunteer to provide these transformative experiences to members of our Pacific Northwest community. That’s what it means to be a Mountaineer.
