Off Season Caretaker - Grand Teton Climbers’ Ranch

The AAC wishes to maintain oversight on lodging facilities when they are not staffed and open to the public.
The Caretaker role will encompass routine checks on the named property for snow removal, inspecting and
monitoring the structural integrity of buildings, roofs, and any exposed utilities, the cleanliness of spaces
from natural and other debris, and provide security to prevent illegal use of the property (e.g. camping). The

The Climbers' Ranch offers the most affordable and accessible lodging for climbers visiting the Grand Teton
National Park and is open June - September. During the winter months it is necessary to park at Bradley
Tagart Trailhead and ski into the facility (snowmobiles may be permitted, but must first be approved by the
National Park Service).

AAC, under the direction of the Lodging Program Manager. All services to be performed shall be done in a
timely and professional manner in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable laws and regulations.
Such services include, without limitation:

a. Regular maintenance for snow removal (this may necessitate more visitation during times of

heavy snowfall).
b. A thorough walk-through of the property, inspecting the exteriors of all buildings.
c. Removing any natural or debris caused by storms, winds, etc.
d. When necessary, inspection of interior spaces if a particular concern warrants such.
e. Minor maintenance (filling bird holes, replacing door hinges, etc.).
f. Routinely ensuring no illegal camping or other use of the property is occurring.

2. Hours are estimated at 20 hours of work per month; additional hours must be pre-approved but
may be necessary during times of heavy snowfall.

3. Providing feedback to AAC Lodging Director for local needs or property concerns.
4. Being available for additional maintenance and projects outside the scope of this contract, to be

compensated on an hourly basis.
5. Have the physical ability to shovel heavy snow for extended periods.

About the AAC
Founded in 1902, the American Alpine Club (AAC) envisions a united community of competent climbers and
healthy climbing landscapes. For more than a century, the AAC has built relationships with
conservation-minded organizations and government agencies, funded and documented some of the world’s
most significant climbs—including historic expeditions to K2 (1939 and ‘53), the first ascent of Hidden Peak
(’58), the first American summit of Mount Everest (‘63), and Antarctica’s Mount Vinson (‘66)—and connected
climbers from a variety of backgrounds. Founding members include many early female climbers and
suffragists, like Annie Peck and Fanny Bullock Workman.For over 100 years, climbers have come together
and found their place at the AAC. Today, the AAC has before it the opportunity to push the needle and
reimagine what community means among climbers. Banding together as a collective of patient,
collaborative, problem-solving climbers, we’re up for the challenge.
