Mountain Rescue England and Wales

In July and August 2007, Mark Stevenson and Rich Mayfield undertook the Hard Rock Challenge to raise funds for mountain rescue in England, Wales and Scotland.

Inspired by Ken Wilson's 'Hard Rock', first published in 1974, the Challenge took in some of the finest and hardest rock climbs in Britain. 22,000 metres of climbing, 180 miles of walk ins, four ferry crossings, over 3000 miles of driving. Only two climbers were previously known to have climbed every route – and they both took ten years! Mark and Rich took just five weeks.

There are plans for a DVD – sales of which will also go in the pot – and you can still give online here.
