Mon 03 Mar 2008Irish climbers hope for record Everest ascent
TWO CLIMBERS bound for Nepal later this week hope to become the youngest Irish men to ascend Mount Everest. Graham Kinch and Ian Taylor, both 29, plan to scale the mountain despite political unrest in the region which has made it a temporary no-go area.
Their attempt to scale Everest from its southern side is part of a fundraising effort to raise money for a school in Uganda, run by the Irish Fields of Life charity.
