November 1st, professional athletes, local leaders, celebrities, and adventure enthusiasts will rappel from the largest hotel on the West Coast - the Hilton San Francisco Union Square - to raise scholarship funds that will support youth participation in San Francisco-based Outward Bound California's (OBCA) programs.
This year, OBCA is proud to partner with GoPro as an event sponsor. As rappellers make their decent, GoPro's new 360 camera, MAX, will capture the incredible view of San Francisco's skyline from all angles. Several GoPro athletes, influencers, and storytellers will also be taking part in the rappel to help spread the word about OBCA's amazing programs and to support their continued work to allow underrepresented youth and communities experience the outdoors through experiential leadership programs. OBCA is also honored to be supported by Hilton San Francisco Union Square, the tallest hotel tower in San Francisco, Planet Granite, a climbing gym that also offers yoga and cardio fitness, and James Wyatt at the Summit Level.

Kai Lightner, Professional Rock Climber
Matt Galland, Outdoor Enthusiast and BYU Professor
Caroline Gleich, Professional Ski Mountaineer, Adventurer, and Activist
Sister Roma, activist and member of Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence

Last year's City Skyline Challenge raised $275K for scholarships to fund underrepresented students' participation in OBCA's life-changing outdoor leadership and character development programs, where they unlock their perseverance, courage and teamwork skills in the face of profound challenge. The organizers hope to raise even more this year, as they aim to further expand partnerships and access for local youth.
Outward Bound California's 2019 City Skyline Challenge features a full day of Bay Area civic leaders, local celebrities, entrepreneurs, students, educators, and individuals experiencing their own milestone moments of personal growth as they descend from the roof of the Hilton San Francisco Union Square's 46th story tower outside the Cityscape Bar and Lounge to the sound of cheering onlookers and a vast online audience.
