National Mountain Climbing Day is observed annually on August 1st to honour the spirit of adventure and the achievements of mountaineers. This day was established in recognition of Bobby Matthews and Josh Madigan, who successfully climbed all 46 peaks of the Adirondack Mountains, culminating in their final ascent of Whiteface Mountain on August 1, 2015. Their remarkable accomplishment inspired the creation of this national day, which celebrates mountaineering history, promotes environmental awareness, encourages outdoor safety, and highlights the health benefits of mountain climbing.
