And the first sponsor to get me their flag award goes to.....Choice Schools Associates. Okay, I will admit that there wasn't an actual contest here and that all the other sponsors still have plenty of time to get them to me, but it is still exciting to see the flags start showing up.
I will be leaving for my first highpoint trip on the 10th of April, so that gives me about four weeks to get the remaining flags and get the final details worked out.
The flag holder that you see me working here is something I rigged up using a camera tripod. For these first set of climbs, it should work real fine as it is. Once I start climbing some higher, more rocky peaks, I am going to have to come up with a way to anchor the tripod to the ground to prevent wind from blowing it away. Climbing highpoints can be rough, but it gets a whole lot more rough when you have to chase after you sponsors flags as the tumble down a rock face.
