What was Sir Edmund Hillary snacking on when he became the first man to summit Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world? Post Grape-Nuts! Cool fact, huh?!

In honor of the 60th anniversary of Edmund Hillary’s historic feat, Grape-Nuts is looking for participants to hike a nearby peak and distribute Grape-Nuts samples to fellow hikers. This is such a great opportunity that we want to make sure Hiking Lady readers sign up to participate!

How to Participate

Go to the Grape-Nuts website and apply to be a “Summit Sampler”. Fill out the application before April 19, 2013, and they’ll pick 60 people (yep that’s a lot of people!) to receive a Summit Sampler Kit.

What’s in the Summit Sampler Kit?

• A cool High Sierra daypack
• Grape-Nuts Fit cereal samples
• A high tech carabiner from Black Diamond Equipment
• A Camelbak Groove water bottle
• A t-shirt
• A summit flag! Yep, just like people hold up on Everest!

What’s more…Grape-Nuts will send some participants who submit photos of their local peak hike a $500 check! WOW!!!

Good luck Hiking Lady readers! I hope some of you are selected to be in the group of 60!

Happy trails!
