Allen Steck (1926 to 2023) was an American mountaineer and rock climber from Oakland, California, who began climbing with his brother George and at fourteen made a first ascent of the northwest ridge of Mount Maclure. After Navy service in World War II he joined the Sierra Club Rock Climbing Section and began climbing in Yosemite Valley in 1947. In 1950 he and John Salathé made the first ascent of the Steck-Salathé Route on Sentinel Rock, and in 1965 he took part in the first ascent of the Hummingbird Ridge on Mount Logan, a route never repeated. He joined the 1954 California Himalayan Expedition to Makalu, designed sleeping bags for a Berkeley outfitter, and co-founded Mountain Travel in 1969.
