Highlights of the Challenge
Great things are done when men and
mountains meet.
During the Summer of 2007, despite the weather we organised a number of successful summits of Mont Blanc. The climbers
emjoyed the challenge and raised significant funds for Children in Crisis. This year we are continuing the programme and invite you to join the challenge both for the
personal reward and acheivement of making a summit attempt and raising money for a great cause.
