Thank you for taking the time to read this page!

Pete Brittleton and Paul Etheridge have set upon the expedition of a lifetime; climbing Broad Peak and K2, 2 x 8000m mountains in Pakistan. They will be doing this without oxygen. The team are the first all British expedition for 20 years to K2, the hardest mountain on earth to climb. The climbs are taking place right now!

The team are currently on Broad Peak, During the exploration rotation to camp 3, some vital kit was damaged during a storm at basecamp.

This now means that the team’s only method of communication is to use emails and subsequently data. This is a very costly form of communication but necessary to receive weather information and vitally to exchange messages with home and let people know they are safe.

We have set up a fundraiser to assist them with the cost of data, as 3 months of data unfortunately comes at a cost.

One of the hardest things about expeditions like this is the mental place your body is taken to. There is no doubt about it- hearing from loved ones carries you through and brightens those lonely days exposed to the harsh environment of these these monster mountains.

If you know these two, they are very modest and would never ask for help but we want to show them that we are all behind them rooting for them in the UK. Plus we love hearing from them and being part of the adventure with them!

If you’re able to contribute please do, we have no doubts the boys will be exceptionally grateful!
