Safety
The team are all very experienced in the adventure sphere. Paul and Vonna have climbed 6000m
peaks in the Himalayas and Karakorum. Several of the team have big wall and rock-climbing
experience. Trained medic Vonna Keller will be on hand every step of the way, plus we have safety
expert and solo yachtsman, Conrad Wansborough, who will be overseeing all safety aspects. This
team worked superbly on the Lowest To Highest Expedition.
