The American Alpine Club (AAC) announced the formation of their Climb United initiative in February of this year. In March, Alpinist participated in a meeting of the Climb United Route Naming Task Force, which was formed to try to build the best publishing practices to avoid harm caused by discriminatory or oppressive route names, according to the AAC s website.
The American Alpine Club is proud to announce Climb United, a new initiative centered around convening climbers, climbing organizations, and industry brands to transform the culture around inclusivity. Current partners of the Climb United project include REI, Eddie Bauer, adidas Outdoor, Mammut, The North Face and Patagonia.
