Peakery�s summer peak kickoff

A couple of weeks ago I posted about a new website called peakery, which allows users to keep track of all the mountains they've summitted from anywhere around the world. The user generated photos, trip reports, peak stats, route info, and maps also serve as a pretty good planning and research tool for your next big hike.

Now peakery has informed me that for the month of July they will be holding a giveaway to encourage people to get outdoors, climb some mountains, and share their experiences with peakery. Anyone can enter the contest by signing and logging a summit anytime in the month of July. If you summit multiple mountains during the month, you'll be eligible for multiple entries into the contest.

The contest winners will be selected randomly from those entries, and the prize list will include a GoLite backpack, a Gearpods Backcountry Multikit system, and a Black Diamond Half Dome helmet.

To claim your summits, just click here.
