How often do you get the opportunity to hang out with great people, meet world class climbers, help a worthy cause and pick up some great prizes, all in one place? Here's your chance!

Tomorrow night, April 27th, Planet Granite in San Francisco will be hosting a live auction to benefit the American Safe Climbing Association, with guest speakers Alex Honnold and Chris McNamara!

The ASCA is an entirely volunteer effort, supported by donations. Their mission is to replace deteriorating anchors on classic climbs in the U.S. and educate climbers and the public about climbing safety. I have always been a big supporter of the ASCA, and whether by providing images or a donation, I'll help any way I can.

Check out SuperTopo for the huge list of items to be available. As an added bonus, Planet Granite has pledged to match up $10,000 in funds raised for the ASCA through April 30th. Can't make it to the auction? Then check out these great items on eBay, with all proceeds going to the same cause.

Visit the event page for all the details. Climb on and be safe!
