2016 Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge Recap

November 20, 2016 By Jeff H Leave a Comment

A big thank-you to all of the challengers and congratulations to those who finished our second annual Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge.

Together, you have logged over 2,500 hikes up the six peaks, hiked more than 32,000 miles and climbed nearly 11 million vertical feet! Best of all, you helped raise $10,000 for Big City Mountaineers–and awesome charity that helps underserved urban youth gain valuable life experience through epic outdoor adventures.

We had a big crowd join us at the Finisher’s Party at Oak Creek Golf Club in Irvine, where we saw a screening of The Muir Project’s latest short documentary NOATAK: Return to the Arctic, shared our next big adventure, and swapped tales from the trails over tacos and cerveza. Big City Mountaineers board member Ben Gipson was on hand to thank everyone for their support and shared the story of how young lives have been impacted by the program. And of course, we gave away a bunch of gear and other goodies.

There are some pretty amazing stats from this year’s challenge, and we’ve shared an overview in this infographic. What really stands out from these numbers is that you Challengers are making an huge impact on the community. You are supporting a great cause and you’re inspiring everyone else you’re connected to on Facebook, Instagram and face-to-face. I’m inspired.
