Generations of climbers have benefited from the work of the AAC. Join today to get global rescue service, the American Alpine Journal, Accidents in North American Mountaineering, hut discounts, and more. Membership also supports the country’s largest grants program for climbers, as well as vital conservation and advocacy initiatives that protect the places we climb. Discover the AAC for yourself at one of their events, like the annual Craggin’ Classic. Visit the AAC website.
AMERICAN INSTITUTE FOR AVALANCHE RESEARCH AND EDUCATION
In the mountains, a knowledge of snow and an ability to assess avalanche hazards is integral to safety for winter skiers and climbers. JHMG has a dedicated core of year-round guides that enjoy teaching a variety of avalanche courses. AIARE is a nationally recognized non-profit group, dedicated to keeping avalanche professionals in the field up-to-date with the latest in research, skills, and technology. JHMG avalanche classes are AIARE certified and our avalanche instructors are AIARE qualified. Visit the AIARE website.

Black Diamond
The winds blow hard and fast at our Corbet High Camp, perched at 11,000 feet on the rocky flanks of the Grand Teton. Only the sturdiest tents survive these winds as well as the high UV exposure at this altitude, and Black Diamond provides us with these well constructed and bomber tents. Our clients enjoy the privacy of their own tents while at our high camp. We also use Black Diamond for our outerwear and technical equipment. Visit the Black Diamond website.
