The journey to Mount Shasta begins
Monday, June 15, 2026
For our 27th Anniversary of Climb Against the Odds, we are honored to welcome 27 volunteer climbers from across the country who will attempt Mount Shasta’s icy 14,179 ft peak to challenge the 1 in 8 odds of a woman’s breast cancer diagnosis.
Many climb in honor of their own breast cancer diagnosis, for a loved one, or for future generations, carrying prayer flags inscribed with names up the mountain. We all climb for prevention so that no one should have to hear the words “You have breast cancer.”
Help them reach their $250,000 fundraising goal!
All of the funds raised by our inspiring climbers goes to support BCPP’s work to translate science into education, press businesses to make safer products, protects consumers from toxic chemicals, and passes health-protective laws.
Our climbers are packing up and preparing for their travels from across the U.S. to Northern California’s Mt. Shasta.
Upon arrival, climbers will check in at the Mt. Shasta Resort, and will meet their event leader/mama bear, Marie DeJournette, to pick up goody bag and their climb sponsor t-shirt.
Next, they will head to pick up climb rental gear at Fifth Season. They also have the chance to complete any remaining last minute shopping for food and gear in town.
Their official all-hands on deck Welcome Dinner kicks off at 5:00 pm where all of the climbers will get to meet each other in person for the first time!
We are happy to reunite with our dear friends from the Mt. Shasta community, who generously host us every year. One community member joins us each year as a climber, with their fundraising proceeds going to the local Mercy General Hospital to support breast cancer treatment for those who need it.
And last but not least, we are so thrilled to reconnect with Shasta Mountain Guides, our expert mountaineering guides who support us up and back home safely down the mountain on this journey to Climb Against the Odds for breast cancer prevention.
Feeling inspired?
Climb Mount Shasta in 2027! Get started today on your adventure of a lifetime.
