Big Agnes has recently increased its support of the outdoor industry by building relationships with the American Alpine Club and the American Mountain Guides Association. As a corporate partner of the AAC and a corporate sponsor of the AMGA, Big Agnes proudly supports the efforts of both organizations, as well as the pursuits of the climbers, mountaineers and guides who benefit from their work.
Powered by a team of outdoor enthusiasts, Big Agnes understands the dedication it takes to be successful in the mountains and strives to meet the stringent requirements of climbers and mountaineers. With its new Seedhouse SuperLight tents, Big Agnes has created a series of “fast & light” shelters that are roomy and well ventilated to keep even the most discerning weight-watchers comfortable.
According to Len Zanni, director sales and marketing, “By increasing our support of the AAC and AMGA, we feel that well be in a better position to introduce our brand to the climbing community and receive product feedback from both avid weekend alpinists and the professional guides and mountaineers who work outside every day.”
The AAC is a national non-profit organization that has represented climbers for over a century. Founded in 1902, The American Alpine Club is dedicated to promoting climbing knowledge, conserving mountain environments, and serving the American climbing community.

The AMGA is a non-profit organization that represents the interests of American mountain guides by providing support, education and standards, and is the sole US representative of the International Federation of Mountain Guides Association (IFMGA). The AMGA provides training and assessment for rock climbing, alpine climbing, and ski-mountaineering guides. Please visit www.amga.com.
