joewtc Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Hi there! Fellow climbers @ Vancouver Rock Climbing Group have launched a Climbers Unite! $1-1Climb for Japan climbing/fundraising series! Seeing the devastation in Japan, we are really sad and really want to help out in whatever ways we can! We would like to extend this to the whole climbing community to UNITE ALL CLIMBERS to help out Japan! We Climbers support each other's life on the rope and have a strong tradition of mutual help spirit, love for life/climbing, and triumph over hardships! Let our unity triumph over this challenge!
