Rob Gearing and Simon Yates will be making the first British attempt of the 6263m Dingshung peak in Nepal in early April and making the world’s first approach by the South East Ridge.  Both are experienced climbers and Simon Yates' near-disastrous climb with Joe Simpson is recounted in "Touching the Void", a best-selling book and now a Hollywood blockbuster.  

As Rob and Simon climb towards the top of the world they will be raising money to bring the world a little closer together.  The first British attempt is hoped to raise funds towards bringing the internet to St Matthews' school in Cyangugu, Rwanda.  The money will allow children of the Fonthill Lodge classroom in Rwanda to talk to pupils at Fonthill Lodge school in East Grinstead, England.  The two schools have been associated for over a decade and this will give the children the chance to share experiences, collaborate on academic and music projects and talk together on Skype.  The British attempt is self-funded and monies raised will all go towards the educational ICT project.  
 
Please give generously to support and encourage this first British attempt of Dingshung.
