Sport Relief - climb a vertical mile.

Instead of running a mile for Sport Relief, why not try climbing a mile (much more of a challenge). If you are interested in attempting to climb routes which, when added together their total length works out at a vertical mile (or more) then this may be the challenge for you.

This is a great opportunity to raise a lot of money for a deserving cause, as well as three days multi-pitch climbing in the sun!

ClimbFrance will provide a guide (free) for one or two people to attempt this challenge. The offer is open to climbers who have some experience of multi-pitch climbing and would like to use this as a learning experience, as well as the chance to raise some money.1 days multi-pitch training will be given before the attempt is made.

Climbers will be responsible for their own travel to France and accommodation (although we can sort this out for you). We will also require evidence that a minimum of £400 sponsorship is raised.

Sport Relief weekend is the 15th and 16th of March so you would need to arrive on Thursday 13th for a training / preparation day on Friday 14th.

If you would like more information or to talk things through get in touch.
