Previous Climbs

Over the past five years (2006-2010), 3 Summits for Nepal has had some incredible success. We've had 52 different climbers join us so far, with 8 of our 10 climbs leading to the group standing on the summits of Mt. Rainier, Mt. Baker, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Hood.

Our group's Mt. Rainier success rate of 76% (56/74 successful summits) far exceeds the 50% success rate of the 9,000-10,000 climbers who attempt to reach the summit each year.

Even more importantly, we've raised over $75,000, funding the complete reconstruction of one school, the expansion of a second, $30,000 towards an orphanage in Kathmandu, and $5,000 towards the Washington State chapters of the Boys and Girls Club and Special Olympics.
