The Junior Challenge 8000

Alan Hinkes, the only British mountaineer to have climbed all of the world's 14 mountains over 8000 metres, challenges your school to an indoor sponsored wall climb in support of WaterAid.

Your school will choose one of the 14 mountains over 8000 metres and the school team will aim to climb that height between them. The money you raise will help WaterAid provide the world's poorest people with clean water and toilets.
