Washington Alpine Club

The WAC was founded in 1916 to encourage the healthful enjoyment of the great outdoors, to preserve its natural beauty and to promote good fellowship among all lovers of nature. Learn more about our long history.

In keeping with our mission statement, the WAC offers several classes through out the year. Class sizes are limited to provide each student with personal attention. Additionally, members meet and organize smaller climbs, social events, and outings throughout the year. Come and check us out, we are a friendly bunch.

Membership is open to all. Our membership ranges from serious expedition climbers, to casual backpackers, to entire families including children and grandparents.
