Through the generous support of American Alpine Institute (AAI), Liz Rocks launches its Liz Rocks Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarship. This scholarship ($5555 value) seeks to support diversity in the mountains while helping one at-risk youth reach new peaks in their life. This scholarship allows one student to attend the July Adventure with AAI on Mt. Baker. Through the Liz Rocks Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarship two past recipients have completed the course and had a successful summit of Mt. Baker!

The American Alpine Institute's Leaders of Tomorrow (LOT) program utilizes rock climbing, mountaineering, ice climbing, stewardship and outdoor adventure to develop decision making and judgment skills for young leaders. Participants learn skills necessary for an attempt on 10,781-foot Mt. Baker as well as on other peaks.

Open to Students:

  • Boys & Girls

  • Ages 14-17

  • With interest in outdoor adventure and exhibit mental toughness

  • Who come from a diverse background and/or have faced significant hardships

This year I got a scholarship for the AMGA Rock Guide Course which is taking place in this fall, 2014. Guiding Denali isn't exactly preparation for a rock course but I'm starting out my season guiding the West Buttress of Denali.
