The Lowa x Jess Roskelley Legacy Grant
The Lowa x Jess Roskelley Legacy Grant is a $5,000 annual award created to honor the life, legacy, and adventurous spirit of alpinist Jess Roskelley. In partnership with Lowa Boots, this grant supports non-professional climbers who balance their passion for the mountains with full-time work, echoing Jess’s own self-funded climbing journey. The grant is intended to fund meaningful expeditions, first ascents, or alpine projects, with a focus on climbs in regions Jess loved—Alaska, Patagonia, Canada, and the Himalayas. Applicants are invited to submit a completed application and supporting materials to John@johnroskelley.com. Please include all required materials.

Our Mission: The Jess Roskelley Foundation exists to promote public projects and outdoor activities that will benefit generations to come and provide access to the wild places cherished by Jess, while preserving his legacy as a lifelong Spokane, Washington native and elite international alpinist.
We aim to support climbers with an undying passion for the mountains—those who pursue the sport not for accolades, but because it lives in their bones, even when faced with the raw reality of risk, suffering, and the edge between life and death.
