The Mountaineer's Creed: A Commitment to Mountains, Challenge, and Community

I believe in the mountains.

I have seen their beauty, and I have felt their power.

I have climbed their peaks, and I have walked their valleys.

I have learned from them, and I have grown because of them.

I believe in the challenge of the mountains.

I know that they can be dangerous, but I also know that they can be rewarding.

They test my strength and my courage, but they also teach me about myself.

I believe in the community of the mountains.

I have met many people on my mountain journeys, and I have learned from each and every one of them.

We share a love of the mountains, and we share a desire to experience them together.

I believe in the mountains.

They are a part of me, and I will always be a part of them.
