Climb For Kids is thoroughly excited to take our cause overseas to Europe. This year you can climb the majestic Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Western Europe while raising money for a great cause. We will begin our trek with 3 days of acclimatization training followed by 3 days of climbing. The climbing will be European Alps style, so we will be sleeping and eating in huts. No extra gear is required, as we will pack light and climb fast.

This climb is led by an American ex-pat Zoe Hart. She is only the fourth American woman to become IFMGAcertified which is the highest level of credential available to a professional mountain guide anywhere in the world. Originally from New Jersey, you can read more about Zoe on her Alpine Princess blog.
