Rat_In_Training Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Hey everyone. I am considering applying for a Summit For Someone climb. This is a guided summit climb of one of 11 mountains in the US and Canada. The catch is each climber must raise $3500 in pledges. This money goes directly to Big City Mountaineers, and will provide for 5 at risk teens and one youth agency leader to participate in a Big City Mountaineers summer backpacking program. My question is if anyone on this forum would be willing to pledge $10 to $20 dollars for my climb. Thanks, Jesse Quote
Rat_In_Training Posted October 12, 2005 Author Posted October 12, 2005 Link for Summit for Someone http://www.summitforsomeone.org Link for Big City Mountaineers http://www.bigcitymountaineers.org/ I cannot collect any pledges till December 1, and all pledging is done online at a secure site. The money never gets into my hands. If you need more info, ask away. Thanks, Jesse Quote
kurthicks Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I've got a friend doing the same thing. Good for you Quote
magellan Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 (edited) Please post again in December. Which peak are you looking at? Edited October 13, 2005 by magellan Quote
Rat_In_Training Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 First Choice is Mt. Olympus, Second Choice is Mt Shasta Quote
Chriznitch Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 shoot, I would trade being "escorted" up a mountain for all that gear! Quote
Rat_In_Training Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 Yeah, the only hard part is the $1500 deposit you have to put on the credit card now, not being able to collect pledges till december, and not getting the $1500 refunded till you raise all $3500 Quote
Kraken Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Yeah, Rat, I saw a sign for this at work yesturday on the message board on the wall. You'll love Olympus, hopefully the snowfall in the olympics will be bigger this year and the moat surrounding the summit block won't be so gargantuant. Good luck on your donations! Quote
Fairweather Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 I climbed Olympus this past July with my kid. The "moat myth" was exactly that. A myth. Conditions were great. Quote
Rat_In_Training Posted October 14, 2005 Author Posted October 14, 2005 Hey fairweather, I just checked out your trip report a few hours ago. Wonderfull pictures. I am very excited. Quote
Rat_In_Training Posted October 14, 2005 Author Posted October 14, 2005 The following link is my pledge page telling about what I am doing with this. If you visit, please sign the guestbook. If you are interested in donating, please state so in your guestbook entry, and I will contact you when pledging opens. Thanks. My Pledge Pages Quote
