All you need to do is get your team of 6 people together who are up for a challenge.
The Competition:
There will be 6 teams taking part on the night and for the teams that completes the climb in the shortest time and raises the most funds; each team member will receive a highly sought after prize!
Our first two events were a huge success and over £6,600 was raised for families affected by cancer in Cambridge. The atmosphere was incredible and the teams all told us how much fun they had.

How many people can say they actually like their accountants? Just mention the word ‘accountants’ and most people’s blood pressure rises.
I (Andy Coldron, charity Co-founder) know from my own experience that T&C are different and when I spotted on their website the opening line was ‘Dare to do more’… well they pretty much had no choice but to accept my offer to take up the ‘Clip n Climb Ben Nevis’ challenge.
