Ten Summits Challenge
The Challenge is to hike up the ten highest peaks in Australia over five days with some of Australia's most experienced Mountain Guides from K7 Adventures. We are doing this to raise awareness for MJD and people with disabilities; and to raise funds for the MJD Foundation for research into a cure.
The top ten peaks in Australia are located in the southern end of the Kosciuszko National Park, NSW.
1. Mt Kosciuszko, 2228 m
2. Mt Townsend, 2209 m
3. Mt Twynam, 2195 m
4. Rams Head, 2190 m
5. Etheridge Ridge Peak, 2180 m
6. Rams Head North, 2177 m
7. Alice Rawson, 2160 m
8. Abbot peak, 2159 m
9. Abbot Peak East, 2145 m
10. Carruthers Peak, 2145 m
The combined height of all ten peaks is 21,788 metres. Although we won't actually ascend that height, it is about 67km in distance we will cover while hiking. On our biggest day we will summit four of the peaks.
Please sponsor a hiker! If they're your family or friend leave comment when you give. Giving options could be $1 per peak ($10), or $1 per kilometres hiked ($67), or 1cent per metre of the combined hight of the peaks ($217.88). Give what you can.
All businesses that support us will be listed on the sponsors page, and there will be the option of having a business logo on the page if a donation of over $100 is given.
