Thank you very much for/to all your effort for/in contributing in great spirit for/to the success of this mountain-climbing event.
Which words should I use? My guesss is 'for', 'for' and 'to'. Is my guess correct?
Thanks.
@tanguatlay,
I’d say for, in, too, though the middle one couldbe omitted

tweak it a bit, as in:

@dalehileman,
yup, "for" "for" "to" will be used

Now I am confused which is the correct one for the second preposition.
Thanks.

Thanks, McTag.
I agree that your sentence is better. However, what is the correct second preposition in the original sentence?
@tanguatlay,
No Tang it’s my fault in post #905 where I wrote “too” instead of “to” but was denied an edit owing to the 10-min rule that so frustrates the few of us who make mistakes or have afterthoughts
@tanguatlay,
Either would work okay. I prefer "in", I think. But the sentence is a wee bit clumsy, and is better edited, as I suggested.

Hi Dalehileman, the error was very minor. I knew you wanted to type 'to'.
@dalehileman,
I do not get frustrated. I'm used to making mistakes, and everyone already knows it.
If you insist on the original sentence, "in" for the second one. But McT is right--his works better.
@MontereyJack,
Thanks for all of you for your help.
@tanguatlay,
You’e welcome, for what it was worth
