This summer 8 adventurous souls will set out to climb all 54 of Colorado’s 14,000 foot peaks in only 10 weeks! Why? Well first off, why not, this sounds amazing! More importantly, however, this expedition aims to raise awareness for mental health. The Climb Out of the Darkness team are using their mountaineering skills to help shed some light on the mental illnesses, diseases, and conditions that affect so many people worldwide but that often go unnoticed or untreated. I encourage you the give the expedition a look and to expand your knowledge on mental health as well. Check out some of the links below for more information. This will be a fun adventure to follow this summer for sure.
