Intrepid Travel, the world's leading small group adventure travel tour operator, is one of the The Clymb's key partners in the launch. To celebrate, The Clymb is introducing a social media promotion entitled "Seven Trips in Seven Days," giving fans a daily chance to vote on and win Adventures trips to extraordinary destinations.

"We've been beta testing our Adventures trips for several months and we've booked thousands of them so far--the demand has been strong," says Kelly Dachtler, president and co-founder of The Clymb. "Sixty percent of our members have a passport and 85 percent of them are planning an adventure travel trip within the year. Partnering with an industry leader like Intrepid Travel will allow us to offer more incredible trips around the world."

Heading up Adventures at The Clymb is Luis Vargas, formerly head of REI's adventure travel program team. Prior to REI, Vargas worked as the trip development manager for Adventures by Disney. He is a board member of Sustainable Travel International and has spent his career enabling others to experience the planet and its many cultures in active and sustainable ways. At The Clymb, Vargas leads a team of adventure travel experts that connect members with the very best tour operators and destinations on earth.

"Intrepid Travel is a great example of the kind of tour operator we want to partner with," states Vargas. "The quality of Intrepid's trips, as well as their focus on sustainable tourism, aligns perfectly with our brand values."
