make a difference on the mountain
Volunteers are a critical part of the 29029 community and play a crucial role in the success of the event. Some of the most impactful experiences of our participants are brought about from the high fives and encouragement they receive from our volunteers. We hear time and time again that volunteers helped those climbing the mountain push beyond their perceived limits and achieve more than they thought they could.
At 29029, our volunteers help support the event through the aid stations, camp reception desk, and encouragement and high fives.
As a volunteer you will receive:
- 29029 volunteer bib to be worn during your shift
- Exclusive 29029 hat
- Meal and snacks during your scheduled shift
- Discount to the 29029 apparel tent for those that cover 2 shifts or the overnight shift
This is a private event and will not be open to view to the public. Travel/lodging is not provided; however, we do have group discounts available at local hotels for select events.
*NOTE: Minimum age to volunteer is 16 if unaccompanied by an adult, or 10 if accompanied by an adult.

"After climbs in 2017 and 2018, I went back to Vermont as a volunteer. It was an opportunity to help and to see 29029 from a different perspective. During a weekend filled with positive energy, I added support and encouragement, while watching wonderful stories unfold throughout the challenge. From branding the ascent board, to witnessing late night hikes, to placing red final ascent bibs on elated climbers, it was a memorable, worthwhile experience... Ready to return!"
