Hello everyone,
ShUOC! (Sheffield University orienteering Club) are doing a sponsored hill climb to raise money for The Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Charity, and local Mountain Rescue teams.
As a club, we will be ascending Mt. Everest from sea-level (8848m) on Heroes hill in Sheffield (1km long, ~130m high). That's 68 ascents. We're hoping to do it as quickly as possible (10 hours maybe).
If you could take a look at our JustGiving page, and maybe even help us towards our target, it would be much appreciated!
ShUOC love, Nic

Just a bump - we're tackling Everest today, and we even have Everest-like conditions!
OK, not quite, but a couple of inches of snow have fallen overnight to make the descents more interesting!
More donation would be very much appreciated!
thanks,
mighty mighty ShUOC!

Ash:
Everest has been ascended in around 9 hours, destroying the current record of 16 hours 45 minutes! :P
Thanks for all the donations, every penny is appreciated!
