After the outstanding success of the North Pole expedition, Walking with the Wounded have set our sights higher for 2012 – to successfully summit Mount Everest and put 4 wounded servicemen on top of the world.

The expedition will consist of two parts, but each will be challenging in its own way.  The first is the 7-day trek from Namche Bazaar in Eastern Nepal to Base Camp at 5380m – when up to 8 severely injured service personnel will overcome terrain that is a feat for even the fittest of trekkers.  Then part of the expedition will continue on – for the assault on the summit.
