Climb a 14er and Support a Great Cause!

Tune into KOTO Radio (Telluride, CO) tonight at 6:20 pm mountain time to learn about the 14er ascent that we recently donated to KOTO’s fundraising campaign. What’s a “fourteener?” It’s any mountain greater than 14,000 feet above sea level, and we’re lucky enough to have a handful of them in our backyard in Telluride, Colorado.

Ryder-Walker Alpine Adventures, in conjunction with our sister company, Telluride Mountain Guides, donated a day trip to the top of a fourteener, (a $600 value). Your cost is just half-price-$300. Best of all, all the proceeds go to our community supported radio station KOTO.

Not into bagging peaks? That’s ok too. You can substitute your fourteener climb with a backcountry ski or ice climbing excursion.

Maribeth Clemente, host of KOTO’s popular Travel Fun radio program, will talk about our donation in addition to all the wonderful adventure travel companies based in Telluride (and their donations) on tonight’s show.

Tune in tonight. You can stream online http://tunein.com/radio/KOTO-917-s34580/ or listen with your old-fashioned transistor radio; 91.7 and 89.3 FM in Telluride, 89.5 FM in Norwood or 105.5 FM Down Valley. Check out koto.org for more details.
