Story

!! SUMMIT SUCCESS !!


 
Hello to all sponsors,
 
Having returned from Nepal with all digits intact, I just want to say a huge thankyou to each and everyone of you for your support and donations, between us we have raised in excess of £1600 for Derian House Children's hospice! 
 
After a 5 day trek along the Everest Base Camp Trail I finally reached AmaDablam BaseCamp. With the Mountain looking seriously scary and impossibly steep I found myself asking 'What the hell am I doing Here?'

Fast Forward 14 days to Saturday November 21st at 13:00 GMT, after an exhausting 3 days climbing along the SouthWest Ridge, I crawled onto the summit of AmaDablam @ 22493ft.

Thanks again,
