Celebs join forces with Everest heroes in once-in-a-lifetime charity auction for Nepal
Famous faces, big name brands and world-renowned mountaineers are donating their time and expertise as well as personal treasures to help raise funds for the earthquake relief effort in Nepal.
Bidding opens on Sunday 28 June in a series of two online auctions led by the BMC with support from the Alpine Club in partnership with eBay.
More than 70 lots will be up for grabs ranging from unforgettable days out including afternoon tea with TV presenter Michael Palin CBE to a Lakeland fell walk with mountaineers Sir Chris Bonington and Doug Scott CBE to books, artwork and memorabilia including a signed photo of Ab Fab star and Gurkha campaigner Joanna Lumley and a rare collection of butterflies collected on the successful 1953 Everest expedition.
Record breaking British mountain guide Kenton Cool will take one lucky winning bidder for a walk/climb and dinner in the British mountains. Or fancy learning the ropes with one of Britain’s best climbers? You can bid for a climbing session with Shauna Coxsey, Hazel Findlay, and Steve McClure or alpine legend Mick Fowler.
Why not put in an offer for your very own piece of mountaineering history? You could win key equipment like Stephen Venables’ crampons and Pete Boardman’s boots worn on Everest expeditions as well some of the very latest kit from top outdoor brands and unique artwork.
Proceeds from the majority of auction lots will go to Community Action Nepal (CAN), with proceeds from selected items going to selected items go to help the Paldorje Sherpa Education Fund.
