Climbers Unite! $1-1Climb for Japan!

Climbers support each other's life on the rope and have a strong tradition of mutual help spirit, love for life/climbing, and triumph over hardships! Fellow Climbers @ Vancouver Rock Climbing Group has started a $1-1Climb series with multiple events to raise support for the Japan Earthquake/Tsunami. We would like to extend this to the whole climbing community to UNITE ALL CLIMBERS to help out Japan! Let our togetherness triumph over this challenge! *You can climb/fundraise with your friends at your own time and donate to any agencies as you see fit! Any help would be significant! $10! Sure! It's all about Climbers' collective involvement and spirit to help! This donation site is provided free by Care for Canada.

2011 Sendai Earthquake and Tsunami.

On 11 March 2011, a 9.0M Earthquake hit Japan, killing 10,000+ people. The earthquake created extremely destructive tsunami waves of up to 10m that struck Japan minutes after the quake, with smaller waves after several hours in many other countries. In Japan, the waves are reported to have travelled up to 10 km inland. The earthquake and tsunami caused extensive and severe damage in Japan, including heavy damage to roads and railways as well as fires in many areas, and a dam collapse. Around 4.4 million households in northeastern Japan were left without electricity and 1.4 million without water. Many electrical generators were taken down, and at least two nuclear reactors partially melted down, which prompted evacuations of the affected areas, and a state of emergency was established.
