Successful Climbers
by Mazamas
The Summer 2020 Climb Season finally got underway on July 15, and it started off strong. Over the past 30 days seven Mazama climb leaders led 16 successful climbs up 11 different peaks, with a total of 110 climbers. Mazama climbs are operating under our COVID-19 policies* which are designed to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 on Mazama activities.
Thank you to our climb leaders for taking on the challenge of leading climbs during the COVID-19 pandemic, and getting folks out into the mountains for some much needed fun!
A note to everyone who applied for a climb this summer and was not accepted. Due to the unique qualities of this year’s climb season, the opportunities were dramatically limited. In a typical year, there are more climbs on our schedule and a higher likelihood of being accepted onto a climb. We hope you won’t be discouraged if you were not accepted this year, and we hope to see you on a climb in 2021.
