Help Ten Thousand Too Far Continue Its Journey

When I first launched Ten Thousand Too Far at the ripe age of 25, I never thought it would produce the viewership it has. With well over 100,000 reads and 150+ articles, 10K2Far has become almost certainly the highest trafficked internet resource for alpine rock climbing, ice climbing and ski mountaineering in the Teton Range. The overwhelming amount of readership has been staggering, and positive responses flattering. That said, as I move into my thirties life is only getting more complicated, and my time available to curating a free internet resource is becoming increasingly limited. While Ten Thousand Too Far will never, ever, entirely disappear nor slip behind a pay wall, I will need to garner some income if I want to continue creating a high volume of quality content.

That said, if you’ve benefited from Ten Thousand Too Far over the years – whether for inspiration, entertainment or beta to fuel your adventures – I am asking for your support. There are ways to help that involve dollar bills, and ways that don’t. Please see the list below.

Ways to support that involve money:

Thank you for believing in individually published adventure journalism.

• Make a one time donation. If I received a dime for every article read I would have over $10,000 dollars, and while extrapolated over five years that doesn’t amount to much, I’m really just looking for a small kickback to justify my time. Whether 50 cents or 50 dollars, every dollar donated is appreciated. Follow this link to make a donation via Stripe. If you prefer to use Venmo, click this link. Or, if you’re a local, come find me in person 😊
• Join my Patreon. If you believe in supporting Ten Thousand Too Far for the long haul, and are interested in getting exclusive content including detailed topos for climbing routes not posted on the main site, consider joining my Patreon account for $5.10 per month. You can cancel at anytime.

Free ways to support:

If chipping in a few bucks is out of the cards – no worries. Funds are tight in my world too. Here’s some ways to help that don’t involve a debit card.

• Subscribe. At the bottom of every article (and this article), and on my donate/subscribe page, there is a form asking for your email. Enter your email to receive updates on new posts. My subscriber count is a useful metric for brands I would like to work with.
• Liking and commenting. At the bottom of every post is a “like” button and a comment box. Tap the button and leave me a comment, even if its mind bogglingly generic. This helps drive traffic to the site.

This was a difficult post to write. I don’t like asking for things. However, my gut feeling was that you’d understand. Thank you for all the support over the years, and for believing in the dying art of independent adventure journalism. I hope I can keep writing articles that enhance your outings in the vertical plane, provide entertaining stories or seed inspiration to chase your wildest dreams.

With love, your friend, Brandon
