Some of you may remember Enock Glidden, a paraplegic climber working towards his goal of climbing El Cap from last year. I shared a long article here last year, but essentially it was about all of the climbing community that came out of the woodwork to help Enock on a training trip. Over 15 people, YOSAR, Yosemite Climbing Stewards, and climbers from Camp IV - most of whom had never met Enock - rallied together to help carry him up to the base and down from Astroman during a training climb. Well, the time has come. We're headed back this October to climb the big stone - El Cap. Enock has been training over the past year, we have a climbing team, and we're ready to go. Once again, we will need many hands to help with this project. The most important help will be with carrying him up to the base of El Cap and even more importantly down from the summit. If you would like to help out or know some folks who would like to help, please be in touch. Last year was really inspiring and everybody who helped out had a blast. To say the least, it was a beautiful thing to see all these strangers come out of the woodwork. On that note, we have a Kickstarter campaign up to raise the funds for the production. You can check it out here: kickstarter.com/projects/mu…
The link includes a short film and description. If you're unable to support, sharing this project with friends and family will go a long way and be greatly appreciated.

Bumping this most worthwhile project to the front page. Please consider sending even a dollar to help make this film, and if you can, carrying Enock to make this ascent happen will become a memory that you will always cherish.

Let me know if you still need people to help carry Enock to the base! I'd be happy to help.

When in October? I'll most likely be out there at the end of the month, and would be happy to help!

We'll be there October 1st. Most likely climbing from October 5th - 9th/10th.
We will need help carrying to the base on October 5th and possibly some help off the summit of El Cap on the 9th/10th. We're camping in North Pines #128. Stop by and say hello! You can also follow us on this Facebook feed for updates. facebook.com/groups/1415648…
