Summit Scholarship applications open on Dec. 15, 2025! Hereās the story of one of our past recipients.
Brittain Noel is a storyteller whose practice began in childhood and followed her through foster care, to Tibet, across Asia and into the mountains she climbs today.

- How Britt broke into professional production
- Moving to Tibet and making decisions to travel the world
- The inaugural Adventure Lens Grant process
- Her mentorship from Savannah Cummins
- The Peruvian Andes: Ishinca & Tocllaraju trip recap and what it was like to both film and climb
