DAVID GUENOT CURRENT ASCENT 9700M

HIGHLIGHTS a stunning walk in the Sheeffry Hills (Ireland) under a blazing sun; a loop walk up to the summit of Pen y Fan (with 1350m ascent, the most he’s done in a day so far this year); two beautiful hikes in the Lake District, one of which with fellow #Everest Anywhere challenger Jay Mistry taking them all around Ullswater. “I am French, but I am inexorably attracted by the Irish and British hills. Last year, I decided to take part in the challenge, aiming for four Everests. It turned out I ended up doing 6.5! So, this year I am aiming for eight. Taking part in this challenge motivates me to go out more, and to climb more and more summits, pushing myself always further and higher. It can also be a great opportunity for me to meet new people on this side of the Channel.”
