This year is the 60th anniversary of the first successful ascent of Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. Inspired by this historic achievement, this November our
Director, Brian Jackson and 2 other Expedition Wise staff, Ian Foster and Bug
Wrightson, are attempting to ascend an unclimbed mountain in Nepal.
The 3 intrepid explorers
will head out to a recently opened up area of Nepal north of the Annapurna
range taking up to 9 days to trek in, 7 days to climb and 7 days to trek out
again.
They will attempt to be
the first ever people to climb Chhubohe (5,603m/18,383ft).
Brian is
specifically raising money for Pancreatic
Cancer UK, as he recently lost a friend to pancreatic cancer. If you wish to support him in his
fundraising, please click on the link to his Just Giving page and click on
Donate.
100% of all funds raised
will go directly to the charity
as Brian is paying for the challenge himself.
