Climb the King is a summer-long fund raiser for the Jackson Hole Community Counseling Center.
Participants hike, bike or run to the top of Snow King and collect pledges for each summit.
The event's purpose is twofold: Raise funds to help us pay for our new facility and raise awareness of the importance of mental health and wellness.
