Welcome to the Digital Hub of the US Nepal Climbers Association!
Founded in 2014, the US Nepal Climbers Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the growth, safety, and sustainability of mountaineering and climbing around the globe. We are committed to advancing safe and ethical practices in the mountains, promoting responsible access, and fostering environmental stewardship and cultural appreciation.
Recognized by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, we proudly represent the mountaineering and sport climbing communities as a leading voice in the climbing world. Our mission spans a wide range of initiatives that support climbers, honor mountain heritage, and protect the fragile ecosystems of the Himalayas and beyond.
A cornerstone of our calendar is Everest Day, celebrated annually on May 29th—a tribute to the historic first ascent of Mount Everest by Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary. Through this celebration and other events, we aim to honor the legacy of past climbers and inspire future generations.
Join us in celebrating the spirit of adventure, community, and deep respect for the mountains. Explore our site to learn more about our programs, events, and how you can become part of our vibrant and dedicated climbing community.
