Two accountants from Manchester will soon be going to the Himalayas in order to take on the challenge of climbing the world's sixth highest mountain, Cho Oyu.
Kit Dickson and Justin Moody diligently trained for the said adventure which will serve as a fundraising event for St. Ann's Hospice. Dickson and Moody need both mental and physical endurance in order to climb the mountain successfully. They participated in several triathlons and other challenges to keep fit and prepare physically for the ice climbing challenge. Dickson had tried climbing the ice wall in the North Face store in Manchester.
Cho Oyu stands about 27,000 feet high and is situated on the boundary of Nepal and Tibet.
