Jacob Loynes, Ben Hopkinson, Laren Munday & Joe Welch are climbing Mont Blanc as their debut climb in the "Climb Higher" series.
Mont Blanc, at 4,810m the highest mountain in western Europe.
Every year the summit of Mont Blanc becomes the ultimate objective for mountaineers the world over, all striving to stand on top of the roof of Europe and look down on all of the major summits of the Alps.
While not technically challenging, ascending Mont Blanc requires a high level of physical fitness and experience using crampons and an ice axe.
We are doing this climb to raise funds for Martin House childrens hospice.
Martin House Hospice care for Children and Young People with progressive life limiting illnesses, and provide support to their families. We are based in our purpose built hospice in Boston Spa, Wetherby and care for children and young people from throughout the Yorkshire region.
