16 Challenging Peaks. 1 Great Cause!
Join Backpacker Magazine’s Summit for Someone benefit climb series as they continue to climb North America’s most sought after peaks to raise funds for Big City Mountaineers. Not only will you experience your choice of challenging, professionally guided ascents, but also you’ll receive a mountain of free gear from their sponsors, like Black Diamond. Plus, you’ll feel good knowing your efforts will help fund a life-changing week in the wilderness for teens that need it most.
Summit for Someone will be tackling a host of stunning, iconic peaks, suitable for beginners and advanced climbers, including:
• Grand Teton
• Mount Rainier
• Mount Olympus
• Mount Whitney
• Pico de Orizaba
• Alaska Expeditions
• Women-specific climbs
Big City Mountaineers’ programs serve hundreds of under-resourced, urban teens by providing access to life-altering outdoors activities with adult mentors. The money raised by each climber is enough to support four teens on a one-week transformative backcountry experience.
