Smokin the Sixers, 2010!

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!

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.

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!
