Lads really are willing to do anything to get out of Grange
Shligo Boys
The key issue is where they get the money from, because these are incredibly expensive expeditions. For example, it costs around €40 – 50k to climb Everest. The 7 summits will cost at least €100k.
It turns out he was sponsored by a well-known bookmaker, whose name appears several times in the article. Make of that what you will.
Fair play to the guy, I’m sure it was a great experience. However, he’s following a fairly well-worn route that’s only available to people with very deep pockets
Holy shit! What an achievement!
The big question is how many Irish people have done this?
