Ascenders Support Crew


Welcome to the Ascenders Support Crew page!

Our wonderful Support Crew for the Ascenders consists of Clare Renton and Hilary Williams. Both Clare and Hilary have been a massive part of the Ascenders journey so far having both traveled with the team during their Three Peaks Challenge.

They will be travelling out to Tanzania with the guys and be on the ground for their whole experience, offering a friendly face and motivating support to the Challengers in Tanzania as they begin their climb. They will be our first point of contact for updates and messages as our roaming Tanzania reporters on the ground.

Make sure you keep an eye out for all of Clare’s and Hilary’s blogs and tweets as they keep us updated on all things Ascenders from their progress and milestones up the mountain, to schedule updates, and personal blogs and messages from the Challengers themselves.

Please feel free to donate to the Ascenders Just Giving page and continue your support as all donations and messages will be fed to our Challengers to keep them going up Kili!
