SILENT AUCTION ALERT

We have had this kindly commissioned for CS22 by Hang6
This is a hand forged and engraved brass piece consisting of LavaStone beads.Each HANG 6 piece is finished by hand, heat treated, oxidized, and patina applied individually, so no two are the same.

They have different casting marks. They are not ‘imperfect’; they are individual. Our scars are part of what makes us who we are.

This will be auctioned off over this weekend , serial number 001 is up via silent auction. With all funds raised going to help fund places for veterans on our expeditions.

Please ping direct with the “bid” and not in the comments , all I ask is you tag any or your veteran friends who also may like this 1 of 1 item….auction will close SUNDAY 1800hrs and winner announced ….. 🇬🇧🫡

CS22 Veterans Mountain Day - Blencathra via Sharp Edge

This is what it’s about, no dark secret, no mystical recipe… just bring veterans together, put us on the side of a mountain and the conversation with flow naturally… being a support for each other as well as forming new friendships and affirming old ones

Thanks to everybody who attended today, if this seems like a bit of you, getting out into the mountains and enjoying good company along with a optional wild swim to cool down , keep an eye on our socials for the next one
