As well as sponsoring Tori's ascent, Find.co.uk are also compiling and distributing the team's audio recordings. Find.co.uk produce a number of financial podcasts to update consumers on news and developments of personal finance products, and we're delighted to be able to do the same for the Everest team. Their recordings are being sent to us in batches and cover the local sounds, impressions, and feedback from the team and the trekkers who are accompanying them to Base Camp.

The first few days at a snowy Everest Base Camp, with farewell to the accompanying trekking team, insight on the perils of flying helicopters in the area – plus a final plea to donate to the Prince’s Trust!
Highlights of the later days of the team’s trek, including radio conversation from one of the interim climbs; Fiona and Sophie on walking the Cho La Pass and the delightful experiences greeting them in Dzongla, and Omar’s sight of Everest as they approach Gorak Shep.
Tori introduces the next few days of the trek to Base Camp which include an awe-inspiring view of Ama Dablam, a noisy glacier, experiences of local wildlife, an altitude headache and a mad dream; and ends with Gokyo Ri and Greg’s birthday.
A collection of recordings of impressions from Tori James, the only female member of the summit team, on the journey through the Khumbu valley; including her first sight of Everest, and witnessing a near miss between Ben and a yak.

Contributors include climbers Greg Maud & Omar Samra, and trekkers Brian Gilbart-Denham, Fiona Wrench, Sophie Bainbridge, John Royden, Ahmed Samra & Biral Raja.
This collection of three recordings conveys the sounds of walking through Namche Bazaar, the first stop on the team's journey in Nepal, the noise of yak bells and herders, and the trekking team teaching the local children hopscotch.
