It all started on an Alaskan glacier where U.C. Santa Cruz students Eric Reynolds and Dave Huntley bonded over a love of climbing and a shared outsider mentality. This trip spurred the founding of the Marmot Club, an inclusive community for oddball mountain misfits named after the furry and social mountain-climbing squirrels known for gallivanting across the alpine ranges of the west. Joining was simple: Bag a peak with a fellow member, and you’re in. The first rule was even simpler: Everyone is President.
