Black Diamond Golden Carabiner Hunt
A world of pure imagination awaits with the Gunks Golden Carabiner Hunt! Presented by Rock and Snow and Black Diamond, this climbing scavenger hunt will raise funds for the Gunks Climber’s Coalition. 30 Golden Carabiners will be hidden in the Gunks for you and your partner to find and redeem for Black Diamond prizes!
