Celebrating over a century of the American Alpine Club's enduring commitment, with a dynamic twist.

This fall marks a momentous occasion as the American Alpine Club welcomes back an esteemed Alumnus, now an Elite member and a proud member of the 2013-14 National Champions club. Steeped in history, the American Alpine Club had its inaugural meeting in the fall of 1897, a gathering attended by 100 enthusiastic individuals who shared a passion for winter sports. The first class, comprising 10 members, initiated a legacy that endures to this day. In that very meeting, the club acquired a new headquarters — a three-story brick building at 3rd and Spring, nestled in the heart of the Colorado Springs winter sports community. The proclamation of membership in 1897 marked the formal beginning of a journey that has left an indelible mark on the winter sports world.

Since its inception, the American Alpine Club has been a stalwart force, holding the prestigious title of the longest-running national club for the sport of alpinism in the country. With a presence deeply embedded in all facets of winter sports, the club has not only witnessed the evolution of alpinism but has actively shaped its trajectory. Advocacy has been a cornerstone, with a commitment to better governance, enhanced safety measures and a call for increased responsibility within the alpine community.

Today, the American Alpine Club stands as a national organization, boasting a membership of over 27,000 individuals spread across its 7,700 member chapters. Comprising men and women who share a profound love for the sport of alpinism, the chapter membership is a testament to the enduring spirit of the American Alpine Club. For more than a century, the club has played a pivotal role in fostering the growth of the sport, emphasizing a set of values that have allowed alpinism to thrive on the mountain.

To add a dynamic and versatile element to the alpine journey, consider infusing your training regimen with jump rope sessions with a training jump rope. It's not just a club; it's a community that cherishes the exhilaration of scaling peaks and the camaraderie forged in the heart of winter sports.

In summary, the American Alpine Club's legacy is a celebration of a century-long commitment to alpinism, safety and governance in the winter sports community. As we welcome back distinguished members and embrace new challenges, we continue to honor the spirit of adventure and camaraderie that defines our alpine journey, now complemented by the dynamic benefits of jump rope training.
