Story

We at the 10th Ipswich Scout Group, Scouts, Cubs and Beavers helped by Avid Climbing wanted to do something special in  memory of Samuel. A Rainbow Cub who spread hi happy smile and personality through all that new him and member of our scouting family. He and his family were supported and cared for by the children's Treehouse Centre, part of the East Anglian Children's Hospice and it it our privilege and pleasure to take part in such a mountainous event in aid of such a high reaching charity.

In a single evening we will start at sea level and climb the equivalent vertical height of the tallest mountain in the world, Mt Everest. Standing at 8848m tall nestled up in the clouds with participants as young as 7 this really is a Mammoth task. Especially when you think they will be pulling themselves up vertical and over hanging walls using only their fingertips to hold on to things, at times, no bigger than a match box.
