Mystery Ranch, the pack company, mourned the loss of Brand Ambassador Inge Perkins who died last year in an avalanche on Imp Peak. Over the past year, a dedicated crew of people who loved Perkins has been hard at work creating the Inge Perkins Scholarship Fund in her memory.

The Inge Perkins Scholarship was established to celebrate the life and inspiration of Perkins by providing financial assistance to a young female rock climber living in the greater Gallatin Valley. The scholarship seeks to provide an aspiring, young female climber with opportunities to gain confidence through the physical, mental and emotional growth that climbing nurtures. The goal is to develop not just stronger climbers, but community-minded volunteers and future mentors to inspire others.

For a limited time, donations will be matched. While several family friends, kindred businesses and Perkins’ sponsors have conspired to provide initial funding, an anonymous donor has offered to match the first $10,000 dollars raised. Donate to this GoFundMe account and be a part of this scholarship honoring Perkins’ generous and adventurous spirit.
