The Mazamas have been an important part of the climbing community in the Pacific Northwest of the United States since their founding. In addition to organizing hundreds of climbing trips and expeditions by their members annually, they are involved in education and conservation. They are similar in their aims and activities to The Mountaineers of Seattle, Washington, which began in 1906 as an auxiliary of The Mazamas. cite web
