The Mountaineers is an outdoor recreation and awareness group based in Seattle, Washington. It was founded in 1906 by rock climbers who wanted a local, expedition focused outdoors club. The club constitution was officially adopted in 1907 by the 151 original members. Among these original members were Henry Landes (the University of Washington geology dean), Edmond S. Meany (the Father of UW Forestry), and Asahel Curtis (famed photographer). The club has expanded its membership to almost sixty thousand. In that time its trips have expanded from yearly climbs, like Mt. Olympus in 1907, to about two dozen different, repeating activities including folkdancing, skiing, biking, hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, and water sports. The club also provides a place for outdoor enthusiasts from around the Pacific Northwest to find partners for one time only trips. The Mountaineers offer many classes from nature photography to tracking and also offer a 30 hour wilderness first aid course called Mountaineering Oriented First Aid. The organization is also home to The Mountaineers Forest Theatre company which performs in parks around Western Washington. Its membership is open to all It is a 501(c)4 organization.
