Each October, the Olympia Mountaineers gather to recognize graduates of all our courses and present awards to leaders who have shown exemplary service in climbing, conservation, youth outreach, scrambling, and hiking. Achievement pins and patches are presented and one Olympia Mountaineer is awarded the Branch Service Award, which recognizes their outstanding service over a multi-year period.
