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.
Become a vital part of the 29029 team. As a thank you for your time and energy on the mountain, ALL volunteers receive:
- Gondola access during challenge hours on Friday and Saturday.

"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!"
