SCI Mountain Challenge

Most city organizations focus on networking lunches or panel talks. SCI Mountain Challenge takes a different route. Outdoor advocacy meets urban energy at 50 Broadway, New York, NY 10004, where the Financial District’s high-rises frame a basecamp for climbers, hikers, and conservationists alike. They coordinate trail-maintenance crews, host film screenings about alpine ecosystems, and run youth programs that swap subway tiles for granite slabs.

Weekend expeditions leave from the same address that handles grant applications and gear swaps. Members receive route beta, access to discounted clinics, and invitations to speaker series featuring rangers and professional athletes. The calendar also includes urban clean-ups along the Hudson, proving the group’s reach stretches beyond the Catskills and Adirondacks. Directions to their office double as directions to the next volunteer meet-up—just check the map before heading downtown.
