“It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves”
Sir Edmund Hillary
Go solo, or tackle it as a team or organisation
They say if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together
Can you get to the summit?
Himalayan Trust New Zealand has created a monumental challenge!
Thousands of Kiwis are going to battle it out to see who can climb the most vertical metres. Together we'll be raising funds for education in the disadvantaged mountain communities of the Himalayas - which is at the core of our organisation's mission because education is the only surefire route out of poverty.
