In February our small team will be attempting to climb Aconcagua, “The Sentinel of Stone” and the highest peak outside of the Himalayas at 22,835 ft. Located in Western Argentina - the heart of the Central Andes, it is South America's highest peak and one of the much sought after Seven Summits. For three weeks we will be braving -40C temperatures and driving winds which can reach over 100mph to scale this formidable mountain.

We will be climbing in memory of a guide and a friend, Gonzalo Vilches, who tragically lost his life last summer climbing the Matterhorn and should have been climbing with us this year.

Please give generously to help us reach our fundraising target for the Red Cross.
