Best of luck to Paige Claassen and Jon Glassberg as they get underway with their ambitious effort to raise $120,000 for charity as part of their 12 month tour around the world:

Lead Now is a global tour to inspire people through rock climbing.  With a one month deadline in each country, professional rock climber Paige Claassen pushes women’s climbing standards around the globe to inspire people of all cultures to lead a life of adventure. Through CrowdRise the Lead Now team raises money to enable women and children to sustain their own communities while solving diverse social problems. Each month, Lead Now releases a video episode of the past month’s adventure of culture, climbing, and community.

.  First stop is South Africa where Paige will be raising money for the Room to Read charity.
