Our Story And Mission
About Summiters Club
Summiters Club is more than a guiding agency — it’s a mountain community built by climbers, for climbers. We believe mountaineering should be accessible to anyone with the passion to explore, from indoor boulderers to absolute beginners. Our mission is to open the doors of alpine adventure through professional guidance, shared knowledge, and lasting connection.
Our Story
The idea for Summiters Club was born on the trail. After years of guiding and climbing with different agencies, our founders realized something was missing — guests weren’t getting the experience, support, or education they deserved. Since 2018, this frustration sparked conversations about building something better. In 2024, after climbing countless peaks and filling notebooks with ideas, Summiters Club was finally founded. We created this club to fix the barriers we saw in mountaineering: beginners stuck waiting for opportunities, information locked behind closed circles, and a lack of trust-driven guiding. Summiters Club is our answer — a space where new climbers can start faster, learn better, and feel like they belong from day one.
Our Mission
We exist to make mountaineering more accessible, meaningful, and connected. Here's how:
- Open the alpine world to everyone — beginners, boulderers, trekkers, or first-timers
- Foster real mountain community — where climbers help and grow together
- Guide through learning, not just logistics — empowering you to become self-reliant
- Break down the elitism in mountaineering — no gatekeeping, no hierarchy
- Make every trip a step toward independence — not just a one-time experience
What We Stand For
At Summiters Club, we don’t just guide — we lead with purpose. These five principles shape everything we do, from base camp to summit and beyond:
-
Safety
Every decision follows UIAA standards, backed by real-world alpine experience -
Knowledge
We teach as we guide — helping every climber grow stronger and smarter with every step. -
Understanding
Everyone’s journey is different. We meet you where you are, without judgment. -
Support
Mountains are challenging. That’s why we climb as a team, not as individuals. -
Community
This is a club, not a competition. No ego, no elitism — just climbers supporting climbers.
The Team Behind the Expeditions
We’re not just guides — we’re lifelong climbers who’ve spent 15+ years in the mountains, learning through every summit, storm, and setback. Our team has climbed technical routes from 2A to 6B, tackled 8000-meter peaks, and led rescues in alpine conditions. We’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and what truly matters up there. That’s the experience we bring to every camp and expedition — not just to get you to the top, but to teach you how to move, think, and grow like a real mountaineer.

Why Climbers Trust Us
We built Summiters Club from our own frustrations — as guests who felt unseen, unsupported, and uninspired. So we decided to create the kind of mountain experience we always searched for:
-
We communicate like partners, not providers
No rigid formats— just real conversations and shared planning. -
We fix what others ignore
From outdated safety practices to cold group dynamics, we actively close the gaps we’ve experienced firsthand. -
We guide and teach at the same time
Every climb includes coaching. You’ll leave more capable than you arrived. - We believe mountaineering should belong to everyone Not just the strongest, the richest, or the most connected. This is your place. This is your Club.

What even is Summiters Club? Like, what do you guys actually do?
Summiters Club is a mountain community — not just a company. We guide people on climbing expeditions, teach real mountaineering skills, and help beginners become confident alpine climbers. Whether it’s your first hike or your first summit, we’re here to get you there safely and with purpose.
Can someone like me join, or do I need to be really experienced?
You don’t need to be experienced at all. Many of our members started with zero outdoor background. If you’re curious, motivated, and ready to learn, we’ll guide you step by step — from your first crampon step to your first summit.
Is this just another tour company, or something different?
Very different. We’re not selling “mountain packages.” We’re building a space where people learn, grow, and stay connected beyond the trip. We teach as we guide, and we treat everyone like a future climbing partner — not a customer.
Will I be safe if I’ve never climbed anything before?
Yes. We follow strict safety protocols based on UIAA standards, and we never push people beyond what they’re ready for. Our guides are certified, experienced, and know how to adapt to your pace — without cutting corners.
Who runs this — are you real climbers or just organizers?
We’re real climbers who have spent over 15 years in the mountains. We’ve guided technical climbs, done alpine rescues, and climbed 8000m+ peaks. Summiters Club is built from our own experience — we’ve been guests before, and now we’re creating the experience we always wanted.
Do you teach stuff, or just guide people up mountains?
We teach everything — ropework, gear, movement, decision-making. Our goal isn’t just to take you to the summit but to help you become a climber who can go again, smarter and stronger, even on your own.
Will I meet other people like me, or is it only pros?
You’ll meet people just like you — curious, a little nervous, and excited to try something new. Some are total beginners, some are getting back into it, and some are already climbing. Everyone supports each other. No one’s here to show off.
What happens after the trip — do people stay in touch or it just ends?
It doesn’t end. Most people stay connected — through our socials, group chats, and sometimes real-life reunions. You’ll leave with new skills, new confidence, and probably a few new mountain friends too.
For Those Who Dare to Rise.
