From Base Camp to Summit: Denali Climbers Recognized by 7 Summits Club

Talkeetna, Alaska – June 10, 2025 – A new hub for mountaineers from around the world has opened in Talkeetna — the official international registration center for ascents of the highest peak in North America: Denali.

The 7 Summits Club, an international mountaineering club, was founded to unite those who dream of summiting the world’s highest peaks and to support adventurers on their journey. The club is also authorized by the international community to maintain climbing statistics and issue official certificates and medals to all climbers who reach the world’s tallest summits.

For over 25 years, 7 Summits Club clients have completed ascents in more than 40 countries, participating in prestigious challenges such as the “7 Summits + 2 Poles,” “7 Volcanoes,” and “14 Eight-Thousanders” projects. All expeditions are led by experienced elite guides — masters of sports in alpinism with numerous ascents of the world’s highest mountains.

This summer, the 7 Summits Club is opening a new office in Alaska. This office will officially record and maintain statistics of all Denali ascents and award climbers with medals and certificates.

The new 7 Summits Club office in Talkeetna is more than just a guest center — it’s a full-fledged International Alpine Hub where:

Official ascent statistics are maintained
Climbers can register their Denali summit and receive personalized medals and certificates
Every climber, independent or with a guiding company, can make their achievement part of mountaineering history
Visitors can get detailed information about global climbing projects and plan their next adventure
Like-minded adventurers can meet, share stories, and find new partners for future climbs

“We believe that every summit is not just a height — it’s a personal story. No matter which team you climbed with, we are proud to recognize and record your journey. This is a step toward building a united global mountaineering community,” said a representative of the 7 Summits Club.

How does it work?

Starting June 1st, climbers simply need to visit the 7 Summits Club office in Talkeetna after summiting Denali. Every climber will receive a memorable kit, including:

A medal
A personalized certificate
A gift pack with 7 Summits Club items (t-shirt, sticker packs, etc.)

The 7 Summits Club’s Talkeetna office also serves as a meeting place — a hub for sharing experiences, celebrating achievements, taking photos, and having coffee with fellow climbers from around the globe.

The 7 Summits Club welcomes everyone who turns the impossible into reality — come be a part of mountaineering history!
