Come join us at the Fun Run on August 31st!

The mission of SMCC is to preserve the integrity of Southern Montana climbing, while providing responsible access and resources to empower the climbing community.

SMCC is jumping into it's second year of serving the community by fundraising for community projects and education opportunities such as gear replacement, a local guidebook, and a community fitness space.

Funds will help us move forward projects that will educate and uplift not only the climbing community, but also the community at large. We plan to focus on providing safety and kids programs once we establish a space.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our donors last year. Funds helped us continue our daily operations. In addition, we were able to release a new grant program for those that have lost loved ones while recreating in the mountains.

FUNDRAISING GOAL: $5,000
