From Aberdeen to the roof of Africa.
Matt did it!
At 11pm, under freezing temperatures and thin air, Matt set off on a 7-hour climb through the night.
“Heart sometimes feels like it’s beating out my chest… but we’re having a good laugh.”
Step by step, through exhaustion, through -25 temperatures, through moments where others needed rescue - he kept going.
And this morning, he reached the top.
Along the way, he carried more than just his backpack. He carried Aberdeen Foyer with him.
“Thinking about you guys a lot… I’ve spoken about you lots.”
From rocky climbs and dropping oxygen levels, to sleepless nights and brutal terrain - this journey wasn’t easy.
Matt, we are beyond proud of you. Thank you for pushing yourself, for believing in what we do, and for taking us with you all the way to the summit.
