Gallaway, Blake Lapthorn |
Everest bid
Blake Lapthorn is sponsoring one of its partners to climb
the world’s highest mountain, Everest.
On 3 April 2010, David Gallaway will be leaving behind his
responsibilities as head of the real estate department at
Blake Lapthorn and setting off on a 10-week expedition to
climb 29,000 ft to the summit of Mount Everest. As well
as the personal challenge, David hopes to raise a substantial
sum to assist with the work of The Prince’s Trust.
David has already experienced the exhilaration of scaling
Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Western Europe, the
Matterhorn, one of the most famous peaks in the world, and
the daunting Swiss Eiger – all since he turned 60.
He has now been invited by the famous British mountaineering
expert, Kenton Cool, to join him on his eighth ascent of
Everest.
