This expedition is an amazing feat for the army, and publishing video updates onto peoples mobile phones is a great way to publicise the event.

In addition to the climb, the teams will also be raising money for charity and assisting medical teams in researching cures into cystic fibrosis and the affects of altitude on the human body. For updates on the expedition, visit www.armyoneverest.mod.uk.
