Charity stair climb

A great idea was put forward to complete a charity stair climb at work to raise money for the victims of he Nepal earthquake. The initial idea was walk up and down the stairs (shared between all participants) until we'd climbed the height of the stairs equal to the height from base camp to Everest peak. We completed this within 40 minutes and since we did this in less time than expected, we decided to climb the stairs until we climbed the entire height of Everest - 8850m! Being suckers for punishment but also enjoying the occasion and cause, 1 hour and 10 minutes later after our first ascent, we finished! A brilliant effort by all and over £500 raised!
