Jason Hamel Climbs Mt. Ebert, Highest Peak in Colorado

As many of you know, the outdoors, with all its beauty, wonder, and challenge have had a huge positive impact on me and helped make me into the person I am today. The Summit for Someone program helps to provide those same opportunities to at risk youth in the Big City Mountaineers program. My hope is that my personal quest can help raise money for that program.  Since I have finally summited Mt. Rainier, I have decided to attempt to reach the highest point in all 50 states.

To date, I have been to Mt Rogers (VA), Mt. Davis (PA), Jerimoth Hill (RI), Mt. Rainier (WA), Wheeler Peak (NM), and Brasstown Bald (GA).

This year I hope to go even higher then Mt. Rainier in an attempt at Colorado’s highest point in Mt. Elbert. At 14,440 feet, it is the second highest point in the lower 48 behind California’s Mt. Whitney. I plan to climb on August 20^th.

Any donation you can provide will be greatly appreciated. All funds go directly to the organization and do not support my self funded climbs.

Thank you!
