Peak Pins
The Mountaineers Activity Awards
Several branches of The Mountaineers offer activity awards (pins / patches / etc.) when certain objectives are met, these include climbing, scrambling, hiking and kayaking.
To obtain an award, send all documentation to the current branch Peak Pin / Awards person of your branch, or to the branch that sponsors the award. A permanent record of awards is shown in your on-line profile.
HISTORY
The earliest award was the Snoqualmie 10 peak started in the 1910’s, given for completing 10 peaks in the Snoqualmie Pass area. To gain credit for the ascent, the climber had to check in to the Snoqualmie Lodge and pay a climbing fee. This was soon expanded to an additional award, the Snoqualmie 20 peak, for completing an additional 10 peaks.
In the 1920’s the Everett Branch created a set of 3 pins for 3 different groups of peaks, the bronze, silver and gold Everett Pins. The Tacoma Branch then offered the Irish Cabin 12 and 24 pin in the 1930’s.
The Six Majors was a popular pin which was reduced to the Five Majors in 1980 when Mt. St Helen’s blew it’s top off. The last few decades have seen several new pins and awards created, there are now at least 35 awards available to all members.
Some branches have special awards available only to members of that branch, those awards are not displayed here. Some awards were originally not branch specific, such as the Snoqualmie 10 or Five Majors, but with the creation of the Seattle Branch in the late 1990’s, the Seattle branch took on management of that award.
