“An ambitious young man with genuine determination, Geordie’s attitude is inspiring and I am proud to support his challenge. I wish him all the best in this record attempt and for his exciting future as an explorer.”                SIR RANULPH FIENNES

Ever since reading Bear Grylls’ book ‘Facing Up’ at the age of 17, it has been my dream to climb to the summit of Mount Everest as well the highest point in each of the other 6 continents – a challenge known as the 7 Summits. To date I have climbed the highest in North & South America, Africa and Europe.

In 2010, having spent 7 weeks on the slopes of Mt. Everest, I got to within 120m of the summit of my dreams before turning around. I felt strong but time was at a premium.

I will be climbing for The RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution), which is an excellent cause that I have always supported. Last year they saved 333 people’s lives as well as rescuing almost 6000 more. Please visit my JustGiving site and give whatever you can…
