The Golden Age of Mountaineering was a time of outdoor enlightenment in which alpine sport was born.  A period in which sophisticated men & women shed their earth bound shackles to discover and pursue harmony amidst the peaks & snow of the surrounding terrain, the climbers of the mid-19th century and early ski mountaineers of the next decade began a journey of mountain and personal discovery that continues to fuel first ascents today.

Channeling the intrepid spirit of the Golden Age of Alpinism and the original Mothers & Fathers of ski mountaineering, Alps & Meters' Ascent Collection celebrates the first summits of the past and the climbs of tomorrow.
