Our Mission

Alpine Athena is a core-focused woman’s alpinism magazine dedicated to the woman climber, alpinist and mountaineer.

This publication strives to be the leading voice for the woman climber, whether she’s an alpinist, boulderer, rock climber, ice climber, or mountaineer.  To tell the story of her dreams, passions, goals and accomplishments, whether they be for a peak in a foreign land or a boulder project at her home gym.  To address her unique needs in this time of quickly evolving gear and skill sets. To be a resource to help her raise her climbing to the next level. And to be a community; a focal point for female climbers to gather around and connect.

Alpine Athena, as it’s namesake implies, honors the inner warrior in every woman of the mountain, peak and crag.  Her weapons may vary, but her strong, powerful spirit is the same.  Whether she dawns pair of rock shoes, mountaineering boots, or ice climbing boots; her beauty shines through her strength, determination, and wisdom.

Alpine Athena is a free monthly online publication produced by women climbers for women climbers.
