Update (Dec 9, 9:30 AM): Congratulations to Robert S, who has won this giveaway. We look forward to having you on a trip in 2025!
We have partnered with Hyperlite Mountain Gear on the outdoor giveaway of the season (and maybe the decade)! The winner will receive:
1. A 5-day guided trip with us
In 2025 we are running beginner-level Fundamentals 5-day trips and intermediate-level Adventure 5-day trips in four locations: southern Utah, the High Sierra, Greater Yellowstone, and West Virginia. The winner may also select a $1695 voucher that they can apply to our 7- or 11-day itineraries, technical canyoneering courses, or Alaska expeditions. Learn more about our trip types.
2. A full kit from Hyperlite Mountain Gear
This 7-piece Hyperlite Mountain Gear backpacking system will set up the winner very nicely for their trip with us. In fact, our primary loaner pack is the Southwest 55, and I used the Mid 1 exclusively last season in all of our locations. The exact items are:
- Southwest 55 Backpack
- MID 1 Shelter
- 20-Degree Quilt
- 10L Side Entry Pod
- 13L Pod
- 9L Pod
- 15L Food Bag
