The 3-day Grand Teton climb involves 14 miles round-trip, 14,000 feet of combined elevation gain and loss, extensive scrambling and fifth class (5.6) climbing on the way to the summit. The money I raise will go towards supporting BCM’s mission. Big City Mountaineers programs kids learn about integrity, decision making, self esteem, and communication. Kids that may want to quit on the first day sometimes end up leading the trip by the end of the week
