This summer I had the opportunity to climb Mt. Olympus in Washington with Summit for Someone, the fundraising arm of Big City Mountaineers. Below is an image of my friend Lane and I on the top. The trip was fantastic, and a great experience for anyone who wants to get out on a guided mountaineering trip while at the same time raising money for urban youth to get outdoors. Plus the bounty of gear provided by the program sponsors (including our own Black Diamond, Big Agnes and SOLE) was worth the fundraising effort! Read a more in-depth report on WildSnow.
