Story
We have designed an inclusive event and all of the team members are taking part. 13 of us have a challenging goal and each have an allocated business day to achieve it in!
Target heights range from Haughmond Hill (502 feet) to Ben Nevis (4,413 feet) and everyone has measured the height of their own stairs so we know how many times up (& back down) they need to do to get up and down their chosen virtual mountain.
If everyone achieves their respective targets, we'll have climbed more than 29,030 feet which is the height of Mt Everest. (We'll also have walked the equivalent distance back down too!)
SPECIAL BONUS CHALLENGE: Sean Clifford and his young (crazy) family have tasked themselves with completing the equivalent of the 3 Peaks Challenge in 24 hours; that's a total climb of 11,182 feet or 1,316 times up and down their stairs. This is in addition to our Everest Challenge so we could achieve over 40,000 feet between us!
We'll be updating regularly as each person tackles their climb; please come back and see how we're getting on.
