Hell on Helvellyn - Apex Everest Challenge
The event, the Apex Everest Challenge is open to both individuals and teams. I chose the team option so contacted the event and signed up and set out to assemble a team of like minded hikers who would not only relish the challenge but who also would be great people to spend the weekend with a make some great memories with....I honestly couldn't have picked 4 better guys!
