Our Second Gear Winner at Laytonkorclimbing.com!
Happy New Year!
Thanks to all of you for donating to help Layton Kor in November and December. Through the help of Big City Mountaineers, our good friends and new nonprofit partner, we were able to get Layton’s site and fundraiser back up and running in November. The community support from everyone is helping Layton Kor, who is a hero and inspiration to so many climbers, deal with the financial burden of his dialysis and impending kidney replacement. Thank you to everyone who has donated gear, time, internet support, money, ideas and good energy to help Layton through this effort. You are an amazing community.
As you know, everyone who donated $25 or more in the month of December was put in the hat for this month’s gear giveaway. Those who also requested a guide day are going to stay in that pile until we finally raffle off the climbing days in the next few months. And remember, everyone who donates in the month of January has a chance to win our next huge gear pile on February 1.
Since my zebra hat was out at a New Year’s Eve disco dance party last night, it seemed like it should be this month’s name drawing hat.
And this month’s gear winner is…..
Joanne Liu!
Congratulations to Joanne, who has not only won the December gear package, but is also still going to go into the raffle to climb Castleton Tower (with me!). Thank you Joanne!
Joanne’s thank you gift is:
MSR Skinny Too tent
Metolius six-pack of FS mini carabiners
Mammut 5-pack of shoulder length dyneema slings
Metolius Comp chalkbag and Element Key Lock Carabiner
4 boxes any Clif product
1 prAna outfit (top and bottom, your choice)
1 pair Five Ten shoes (your choice)
prAna yoga mat
Sender Films DVD (your choice)
3-pack Backcountry.com Stainless Steel coffee tumblers
Yes, all of it! And we have lots more gear, so we’re not going to stop doing these until we run out (thank you to the amazing companies who have donated gear!).
The next gear giveaway is just as fat, and everyone who donates this month will be in the February 1 drawing. Please come check it out, and donate to help Layton and have a chance to win a climbing day with me, Tommy Caldwell, Jimmie Dunn, Eric Horst or Conrad Anker, and to win a fantastic gear package on top of it!
Again, huge thanks to everyone who is making this fundraiser work to support Layton Kor. He feels very honored by the community support, and it is helping.
May you have a happy, safe and adventurous new decade.
