Now this I had to share!
Our mission is to facilitate, encourage and document the consumption of a Cheeseburger on every named peak on the planet.
Some may ask, "Why?" Others may ask, "Why not?" And the people behind Summit Cheeseburger aren't saying anything because they're too busy climbing mountains and eating burgers. Summit Cheeseburger has been documenting the marriage of climbing and cheeseburgers since 2006 and seems to be doing a good job at getting cheeseburgers to peaks around the world—check out their lists of burgers, completed summits and omnivorous hikers. If you want to enter the Summit Cheeseburger Contest, make sure to read the rules.
