The adventure
is just the
beginning…

Our goal is to build a stronger, more diverse outdoor community where everyone feels welcome.

We believe that adventures should leave you with more than tired feet and a few bruises. Adventures should leave you with an open mind, refreshed perspectives, and an overflowing heart. They should transform you. 

Here at the Carabiner Collective we’ve all experienced the transformational power of adventure firsthand. Whether it was on the summit of Kilimanjaro or the trails we grew up on, it was in the great outdoors where we discovered our true potential and our “happy place.” Adventure dramatically changed our lives, and that’s why we want to share its power with as many others as possible.

Is it too lofty to think that we can change the world one adventure at a time? We don’t think so. We see a world where our differences are valued and celebrated, and, if hiking has taught us anything, it’s that small steps in the right direction always lead us to our goal.

There’s one thing
we know for sure. Adventure changes people, and people
change the world.

The goal of Trailblazer Awards is to bring more diversity, representation and gender equality to the outdoor space by making life changing adventures more accessible, affordable and welcoming for everyone.

Adventure is
worthwhile in itself.
