AIDS Climbing Week has come to a close and I am happy to announce that our staff have climbed 34 peaks! The week of hiking and mountain climbing raised approximately $1300 for The Stephen Lewis Foundation, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and the hard work of our climbers. But the positive outcome does not end there: Num-Ti-Jah Staff overcame numerous challenges to climb peaks for the cause this week. While working full-time, the staff took their precious ‘time off’ to climb amidst mostly rain and windy conditions. As well, for many of our staff members climbing peaks was a new activity, but they took on the challenge and courageously made it to the top, overcoming some fears and learning a lot about themselves in the process.
The 34 peaks included the following:
Mount Jimmy Simpson Sr. Mount Jimmy Simpson Jr. Little Crowfoot Bow Peak Cirque Peak Mount Rundle Bobac Mountain Watermelon Peak – 5th ascent recorded in history Marmot Mountain – 4th ascent recorded in history
