BenefitOn March 24th, 2011 7:00pm High Country Outfitters is proud to be hosting a benefit for the 2011 Cordillera Blanca Expedition of the Deep South Section of the American Alpine Club.  Join professional adventurer Ryan Waters as he recounts the incredible 70 day, 1,120 mile journey across Antarctica with partner Cecilie Skog on the first unsupported and unassisted ski traverse of the continent.

Ryan Waters is a veteran of nine 8000 meter peak expeditions, including three expeditions to Mt. Everest, reaching the summit of both the Tibet and Nepal sides of the mountain. He has guided three expeditions to Cho Oyu, the sixth highest mountain in the world and led trips to K2, Broad Peak, and Gasherbrum II.

He developed a passion for the Andes Range of South America and was based in Argentina for several years. During this time he led over 30 expeditions in the mountains of Chile, Argentina and Ecuador. Ryan spent extensive time in the backcountry of South America working as a mountaineering instructor for Patagonia Outward Bound.

This is an event not to be missed.  A portion of the proceeds from the nights event will go to the 2011 Cordillera Blanca Expedition of the Deep South Section of the American Alpine Club.  On June 26 an expedition is to embark on what Ellen Lapham, chair of the Conservation Committee for the American Alpine Club, calls a “groundbreaking climber-scientist program” in Peru.  Organized by the  Deep South section of the AAC, the endeavor will bring together American and Peruvian climber-scientists to study local and global pollution and climate change in the Cordillera Blanca range, which contains the greatest concentration of 6000-meter mountains in this hemisphere.

Team High Country Hiking for the Cure

Ultimate Hike

Team High Country Outfitters will be participating in the Ultimate Hike, benefiting CureSearch for Children’s Cancer to take place on May 14, 2011. The money we raise will fund and support collaborative research to find a cure for all cancers affecting children. We need your support, so please make a donation to CureSearch for Children’s Cancer. Together, we will Reach the Day when every child with cancer is guaranteed a cure.

This is a true ultimate challenge – on May 14, 2011, Team High Country Outfitters will be hiking 27.5 miles of the Appalachian Trail in one day to raise money and awareness towards finding the cure for children’s cancer, the #1 cause of death by disease in children.

Every day, 35 children are diagnosed with pediatric cancer – 7 of those children will not survive. Cancer is the #1 cause of death by disease in children. Although the cure rate is now 78% – up by 30% in the last 20 years – it is not good enough. Our goal is a 100% cure rate.

We ask for a minimum donation of $27.50 to represent a dollar a mile for the 27.5 miles we will be completing, of course any amount will be appreciated and go to the best of causes, our children.

Donate Now!

$2000.00 Raised for the Southeastern Climbers Coalition

Reel RockWhat an event on Thursday night!!! If you missed it, you missed out.  My palms are still sweating!  The night started with a gathering of friends in the lobby of Lefont Theater.  Folks got to stop by and speak with some of our sponsors and buy some raffle tickets to have a chance to win some fantastic prizes.  Special thanks goes out to all of the people/businesses that supported the raffle with a prize.  The North Face put up some great prizes and PMI donated a rope which was our grand prize.  The ladies from Two Girls & a Mat were there demonstrating some yoga moves for climbers (don’t miss their Sunday morning class at High Country, Buckhead); Chad with the American Alpine Club had some cool giveaways; Trey from Adrenaline was there promoting her Halloween bouldering comp on October 23, 2010 and of course, Will, Tracey, and Joy were working the SCC booth selling raffle tickets and memberships.

Speaking of selling tickets!  We were able to raise $550.00 at the raffle table and after paying for the theater, movie, printing etc, we raised an additional $1450.00 in ticket sales. That’s $2000.00 for the SCC.  We are planning an event in October where we can present the SCC with that $2000.00 check  so be sure to check the site and your email inbox for details.

The movies started with some climbing humor and then got right to the nitty gritty climbing.  Some highlights for me were Peter and Lisa on The Hulk, Dean Potter’s “free basing”, and Ueli Steck the Swiss Machine.  All the movies were great and with the exception of a minor technical difficulty went off without a hitch. Who didn’t want to see Daniel and Paul pull off those amazing sends more than once, right?

Thank you again for all of you who came out and supported the SCC, what a kick-off to the amazing climbing season that is now upon us.  See you all in the Shop and at the Crag.
