Becky's Baruntse Battle! · 9 October 2010

Romsey Gateway Club works in association with MENCAP to provide a social club for local adults with learning disabilities. As a small local charity run entirely by volunteers, it receives no external funding so relies solely on donations to keep it running. Please donate whatever you can. Thank you.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p><a href="http://www.beckybellworthy.com">www.beckybellworthy.com</a></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UPDATE- Summit Success!!</span></p> <p>On 5th November 2010 at around 9.30am (Nepalese time, GMT +4hours 45 minutes) Becky summited Baruntse, gaining a world record as the youngest ever female to do so. She was also the only female to summit&nbsp;Baruntse&nbsp;in the Autumn 2010 climbing season.</p> <p>The&nbsp;fund-raising&nbsp;in aid of Romsey Gateway Club continues as Becky prepares for Everest, so keep donating what you can! Thank you.</p> <p>-----------</p> <p>From the day I came up with some crazy plans to climb Everest, mountaineering has become the focus of my gap year, with hours of training and searching for sponsorship.</p> <p>Baruntse is a mountain in eastern Nepal, standing at 7,129 metres (23,389 feet), higher than any other mountain outside the Himalayas. First climbed in 1954, the South Ridge offers a formidable challenge and views of some of the worlds highest mountains including Everest.</p> <p>So please dig deep and give whatever you can. It's an amazing charity that I'm really passionate about helping. As a small club, every little donation really does help, so even if it's only a &pound;1, it's still &pound;1 closer to the target! Thank you for your support.</p>
