THANK YOU!

Thanks to all participants, contributors and sponsors! We'll have a complete event and campaign update soon.

Climb some routes. Raise some dough. Protect local climbing.

It's the EVEREST CHALLENGE fundraiser!
Saturday, April 18 • 11am–4pm • Petra Cliffs

THE CHALLENGE: Reach Mt. Everest’s elevation—29,035 feet—in just one day.

THE GOAL: Keep Vermont’s most beloved climbing areas, like Upper West Bolton Cliff, open to climbing (and get some laps in before warmer weather). Shake down pledges from family and friends, then complete as many routes as possible in 3-1/2 hours to help us rack up the vertical feet and reach the summit. The more you raise, the more chances you’ll have to win serious prizes including gear, tickets, gift certificates, and lots more.

ENTRY: $20 minimum in pledges gets you hours of climbing, a tasty lunch, good karma, and the opportunity to walk away with hard-earned schwag.

PARTICIPATE!

• SEE YOU THERE!
• Distribute event posters (11 x 17" poster or 8.5 x 11" flier)
• Download and print your pledge form

Teams, boulderers, and all ages welcome. You don't need a climbing partner and Petra Cliffs has even generously offered free rental gear.

Lunch provided in part by Sweet Clover Market, Vermont Smoke & Cure, Shelburne Farms, and Misty Knoll Farms.

Generously hosted by Petra Cliffs.
