Featured Fundraiser:  ALPENBOCK. Bring this story to the BIG screen!

"Alpenbock" is not just a film; it's a legacy project that honors the rich history and enduring spirit of rock climbing in Big & Little Cottonwood Canyons of Utah. As climbing continues to evolve, the routes and the passion for where we climb remain the same. We have a challenge and responsibility to preserve and protect these iconic climbing landscapes, rich with historical value. 

Because we can save a place a thousand times, but lose it only once. 

This is the story of University of Utah first ascensionists in the 1960s and the respective group they formed– The Alpenbock Club. 

This is a story of passion, grit, culture, and climbing ethics.
