Jude Glenn is the co-founder and executive director of Queer Mountaineers, a PNW-based organization aiming to further diversify the outdoors. Jude has a well-rounded mountain skillset and a list of accomplishments to back it up: He’s summited dozens of peaks in the northwest, including Mount Rainier via the Kauz Glacier, Mt. St. Helens, and Mt. Hood twice in one day via the Pearly Gates (we have questions, Jude). Jude has also completed the Alpine Mountaineering & Technical Leadership Course from American Alpine Club (AAC) and was awarded the AAC’s Catalyst Grant, which he used to fund the first all-queer climb of Mt Baker. Originally from a small farm in West Texas, Jude Glenn now calls the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, home.
