So its time to introduce my team for the challenge! There are 5 of us in the team working together covering everything that a team of mountaineers would need doing. We can all do each others job passably but we each have a speciality that we can do better than the others..
Matt Burford
Team leader and technical lead.
I am working towards my Mountain Leader award so this will make a great final mountain and expedition practice. I love the challenge of being in the mountains and organising trips away for people. The Samaritans Charity we are doing the challenge for is a very worth while charity and does a lot if good work.
Gemma Patterson
Assistant technical lead.
I’m doing the three peaks because I love a challenge, I’ve always wanted to test myself climbing the highest peaks in England, Wales and Scotland, and this way I get to see more of them and I really care about the charity
Mark Painter
Back up climber number 1 (can do all jobs needed adequately)
I enjoy a challenge, and have wanted to do the 3 peaks for a while, although I’ve never climbed any of them. The charity is also something that I fully support and want to help out.
Alex Tudor
back up climber 2 (can do all jobs adequately)
‘I have nothing better to do and it seems like a laugh’
I love this sort of thing and have always enjoyed being in the mountains, it seems like a challenge I’ve never been up Ben Nevis. The charity is a nice bonus as well as they do a very worthwhile job.
Sean Rowe
Navigational Lead.
I’m the type of person who lives outdoors and couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. I enjoy the challenge and believe that if my passion is helping others then there is no excuse not to do it. This especially extends to helping the Samaritans charity.
