Finders Keepers

Mammut is kicking off the photo contest with a separate challenge. Some of their athletes are stashing gear in different locations around the world, ready for you to follow the clues and find the treasure. Athletes such as Adam Ondra, Jérémie Heitz, Brendan Carberry, Lena Drapella, and Katie Burrell are hiding €60,000 worth of Leica cameras and outdoor gear in the wilderness. All you need to do is follow the clues being released on their social media platforms and as they say – finders keepers.

Even the company CEO has been getting involved in stashing some of the packages – check out the video.

Anyone can take part in the treasure hunt, but Mammut has stressed that participants will have to earn the cache – suggesting the packages might not be straight forward to reach.
