Older, wiser, and ready to climb? Your age is an asset, not a limitation.
Our Masters Mountaineering Series was created for climbers 50 and up who want to move with intention, not pressure. These are thoughtfully designed expeditions—built around your pace, your goals, and your love for the journey. With expert guides and a like-minded community, you’ll find support at every step and purpose in every summit.
Whether you’re returning to the mountains or just beginning, this is your path forward.

After hearing from hundreds of climbers during our Masters Mountaineering: Climbing After 50 webinar, one thing is crystal clear:
You’re not done climbing—you just want to do it your way.
Over 80% of participants shared a desire to climb with like-minded peers, with a strong emphasis on slower pacing, shared life experience, and climbing for purpose—not ego. Whether you’re getting back in shape, starting fresh in your 50s, or just tired of chasing younger, faster teammates, you’re not alone.
Get to know three of the incredible guides leading our Masters Mountaineering expeditions, who all bring a unique blend of technical skill, deep experience, and care for climbers. In addition to being world-class guides, these individuals all share a mutual passion for teaching.

Eva Steinwald is 61 years old and proving that it’s never too late to start something big. Originally from Germany and now based in Boise, Idaho, Eva is climbing the Seven Summits by the age of 70—a goal she’s calling her 7 Summits x 70. She didn’t grow up in the mountains and didn’t put on crampons or carry an ice axe until her 60s. But after losing her husband, she found healing and purpose in the mountains.
It started with Idaho’s Mount Borah, where Eva pushed through her fear of heights and made it to the summit in tears. That moment changed everything. In 2021, she climbed Mount Rainier without ever having worn a harness or helmet. “I felt like I was on Everest,” she says. That climb gave her the courage to trek to Everest Base Camp the following year—and now, she’s back in the Khumbu, climbing Everest with CTSS and completing her first rotation.
Since that first climb, Eva’s ticked off Aconcagua and Denali, and she’s just getting started. Her 7 Summits x 70 goal isn’t just about standing on the world’s highest peaks—it’s about honoring the life she’s lived, the one she’s building, and the purpose she’s found along the way. “The mountains rescued me,” she says. And now, she’s climbing them—one summit at a time.
