Most people are members of the aac for their awesome insurance policy but dont realise that they also give generous expedition grants. There's info on the website, and you need to be a member, but its well worth applying. Same rules apply as most other grants i.e exploratory climbing/first ascents are preferred, and you'll need to give a lecture for the members after.

Well done ladd!
