Captain Kim Tanner and Guest Services Director Rebecca Heron will be attempting to climb Cho Oyu in 2026, aiming to raise an ambitious £100,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Next to Everest in the Himalayas, Cho Oyu is the 6th highest peak in the world at 8,201m / 26,906ft. Their 45 day expedition with renowned high altitude experts Adventure Consultants, will take them hundreds of kilometres through China, Nepal and Tibet, into the notorious ‘death zone’ of the handful of mountains over 8000m.

They previously summited Kilimanjaro (5,895m / 19,340ft) in 2024, followed by Aconcagua (6961m / 22,839ft) in 2025. The highest mountain outside the Himalayas, their Aconcagua climb raised £31,166 for Macmillan.

Both Kim & Becca lost a parent to cancer too soon - this climb will be dedicated to their memory and help Macmillan Cancer Support continue its vital work supporting cancer patients and their families through incredibly difficult times.
