Fundraising Climbs
Rise Together, Climb For Change.
SheJumps Fundraising Climbs are about more than summits. They are about courage, connection, and climbing for a cause. With expert women guides and the support of teammates, women come together to take on big mountains-lifting one another every step of the way.
These climbs challenge you physically, mentally, and emotionally, while raising vital funds to support the SheJumps mission. From your very first donation to your final steps off the mountain, you will be part of the Girafficorn community-proving just how powerful women can be when we rise together.

Mt Rainier - Two Climbs!
June 26-28 or July 24-26
We're excited to offer two chances to climb Mt. Rainier in 2027!
At 14,411 feet, Mt. Rainier (Tahoma) is the crown jewel of the Cascades-the most extensively glaciated peak in the continental United States and the highest mountain on any SheJumps climb. In 2027, we're offer two Fundraising Climbs on this legendary peak, each promising a true mountaineering experience and incredible group camaraderie.
Along the way, professional women guides provide all necessary training on the mountain, giving you more time to soak in Rainier's towering glaciers and alpine beauty. Rainier stands as the ultimate challenge of the SheJumps Fundraising Climbs: both demanding, breathtaking, and unforgettable.

Mt. Baker
July 9-11
Build your skills. Find your confidence. Climb a classic.
Mt. Baker is the quintessential glaciated Cascade peak—and an incredible place to experience mountaineering for the first time or take your skills to the next level.
Over three days, you’ll learn essential mountaineering skills—including glacier travel, ice axe and self-arrest techniques, and rope systems—while working toward the summit via the beautiful Easton Glacier.
Baker is more than a summit—it’s a place to build confidence and skills you can take with you to bigger mountains. Learn to travel on glaciers, navigate steep snow and ice, and work as a team in challenging terrain. Then take those skills wherever your next adventure leads.
No prior mountaineering experience is required. This climb is open to enthusiastic beginners and experienced hikers alike. Prior backpacking and camping experience is highly recommended.

Grand Teton
July 11-14
Join the SheJumps Legacy at The Grand
The Grand Teton (Dae Wunt) is where SheJumps' Fundraising Climb tradition began, and joining this ascent means becoming part of both our history and the legacy of American alpinism. At 13,775 feet, it is one of the most iconic peaks in the country and the second-highest in Wyoming.
This advanced climb includes exposed, roped terrain. Prior rock experience helps, but is not required. One day of rock climbing skills review/instruction is included in the climb. Some snow climbing may be involved on upper portions of the mountain if late season snow persists. Long approaches and significant elevation gain mean cardiovascular fitness matters more than technical skill
The summit rewards participants with an unforgettable view and a deeper connection to the Tetons' remarkable alpine environment.
Grand Teton Highlights:

Guide Ratio: 3:1

Number of Climbers: 6

Total Elevation Gain: 7,000 feet

Presidential Traverse
August 9-11
Many peaks, one powerful purpose.
Back by popular demand, the Presidential Traverse (Agiocochook) delivers a classic New England adventure. Covering over 20 miles in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, fundraising climbers will experience exposed ridges, changing weather, and challenging terrain each day. This climb is unique in our fundraising climb lineup due to no early alpine starts, lodging in Appalachian Mountain Club huts, and plenty of summits to stand on.
That being said, the Presidential Traverse is not to be underestimated. Expect variable weather, rocky and root-filled trails, and challenging terrain throughout the route. Above treeline, you’ll navigate large talus fields with uneven rocks piled across the trail, while the southern Presidentials offer some smoother sections of dirt trail.
This is a demanding adventure that requires excellent physical fitness, stamina, and mental toughness—this hike is tough, and so are you!
Presidential Traverse Highlights:
-
Guide ratio: 4:1
-
Number of Climbers: 8
-
Number of Mountain Summits: 9
-
Total elevation gained: 9,000 feet
