Queer Mountaineers is a community-founded all volunteer-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to creating inclusive outdoor spaces for LGBTQIA+ communities.

Based in the Pacific Northwest and growing beyond, we host a wide range of events including gym climbing nights, hikes, social meetups, mountaineering and outdoor skills workshops, ski and snow events, and guided experiences. Our programming is designed to lower barriers to entry, build confidence, and foster genuine community both indoors and out.

We partner with climbing gyms, outdoor organizations, guides, and community groups to expand access to skills, gear, and safe learning environments. Everything we do is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to take up space in the outdoors exactly as they are.

Your support helps fund accessible programming, insurance and safety infrastructure, training opportunities, and the operational capacity needed to grow responsibly. Together, we’re working to ensure the outdoors is a place of belonging, joy, and connection for all.
