Climb 2017 | Asha Seattle

Climb for Asha

People do not decide to become extraordinary. They decide to accomplish extraordinary things.

–Sir Edmund Hillary

Building on last few years’ achievement, this year too, some members of the Seattle community have come forward to do something extraordinary for Asha Seattle. Sandeep Nain from Miyar Adventures, has offered to guide Team Asha climbers up some of the most challenging mountains in the Pacific Northwest. They are doing this to raise funds for Asha for Education, Seattle chapter.

While Asha Seattle does have a long-standing marathon and biking training program, climbing program is one of the most popular Team Asha programs, that a group of interest hikers and climbers are taking the initiative to raise funds for Asha Seattle via climbing. They have trained very hard for months by themselves and it’s time to attempt Rainier Summit. You can read more about them in their individual profiles.

Sir Hillary also said that it is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves. We hope that this initiative will inspire more members of the climbing community to join hands with Asha Seattle in conquering the challenges of bringing about socio-economic change in the lives of underprivileged community in India.
