About The Project
Exploring the last great unclimbed peaks through alpine-style expeditions. Supporting climbers worldwide in their pursuit of first ascents.
Our Mission & Vision
The Global Unclimbed Peaks Project was founded to support climbers pursuing the last great first ascents in the world’s highest mountains.
