Become a Summit Guide

Help others process their story for the first time.

Lead Others Through the Summit Initiative Process

In mountaineering, when conditions become treacherous, climbers tie into one another so that if someone slips the rest of the team is there to hold them up. The person at the front - on the “sharp end of the rope” - has been to the top before, knows the route, and wants to help others get their first views from the Summit. You in? Here’s the process:
