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.

Claim your summit

I just wanted to let everyone know about a new website I found out about last week called "peakery".

Essentially, peakery allows users to claim any peak they've summitted from anywhere around the world. It's a great online tool for keeping track of your summits, or for bragging purposes amongst your friends and family. With photos, trip reports, peak stats, route info, and maps, peakery also serves as a pretty good planning and research tool for your next big hike.

You can easily browse more than 150,000 mountains from around the world in 3 different views: List View, Map View and Photo View. peakery has also compiled summits in a variety of lists, such as US State High Points, Colorado Fourteeners or the South Beyond 6000.

You can also browse mountains by region and state in the Peak Directory.

After you return from your latest summit, peakery is the place to share your summit experience. Add trip details, photos, route info, and who you went with.

To check it out, just click here. It's free and very easy to use.
