Free Gear

You're fundraising will help over a thousand kids get outside this year - over 5,000 at-risk and underprivileged youth since 1999. In return, you'll walk away from your climb with over $1,500 of mountaineering gear, guaranteed. Go beyond your goal and even more kids will benefit from Bay Area Wilderness Training programs, and you'll win even more great gear.

Prizes

Meet or exceed the next fundraising level (above your goal) and you'll get even more great gear!

The mountaineering gear you keep will be provided 30 days in advance of your climb. Consult the gear checklist for your individual climb (see your Climber Orientation packet) for all required items, some of which are not provided. We will do our best to ensure proper sizing of gear, but reserve the right to change the gear package and substitute styles per availability.

Fundraising deadline for most prizes is 30 days prior to your climb. The grand prize will be awarded to the top three fundraisers for the entire 2008 season and the qualifying deadline is 30 days prior to the final climb of the season - Labor Day Weekend 2008. Climbers on early season climbs may continue to fundraise throughout the season to win the grand prize.
