scottgg Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) Howdy Y'all! Thought some folks on here might appreciate seeing an event we are putting together out here in NC in Luke Gullberg's memory! As you remember, Luke passed away this past December, along with Anthony Vietti and Katie Nolan, while climbing Mt Hood. So we have put together a race to climb as many of the 40 "Southern Sixers" in 24 hours as possible in their memory. The peaks are all located in western NC and eastern TN, and feature trails ranging from .25 to 8 miles. All procceds benefit "Luke's Wall" (http://lakesidebiblecamp.org/getting-involved/adopt-a-project), and we will have some great raffle prizes and gear from GU, Brooks, REI, Cilogear, and more! Luke loved racing and climbing, and he sure would have been keen on this event! Registration is through active.com(http://www.active.com/running/asheville-nc/smokin-the-sixers-2010) More info here: http://lukegullberg.wordpress.com/ Luke on the PCT last summer Luke in the North Cascades Luke halfway through a friendly race to climb the most routes in half a day at Stone Mountain, NC Edited September 28, 2010 by scottgg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off_White Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Nice. I delivered my daughter to college in Asheville for college this summer, it was nice to poke about up along the Blue Ridge Parkway where the air was a little cooler. North Carolina's a beautiful state. Hope your event goes swimmingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottgg Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Well, we had a great event and raised over $600 for "Luke's Wall". 22 folks showed up to particpate, and I think everyone had a blast! The top two teams tied with 16 peaks each, and everyone was stoked with the great prizes from Brooks, Cilogear, GU Energy, and REI. I carried a 20l NWD pack from Cilogear, and it worked great! Highly reccomended! More info here: http://lukegullberg.wordpress.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
