Climb for Arca - Mera Peak Project (6,476m)

We are 2 friends with a passion for the outdoors and mountaineering, who will be attempting to summit the Himalayas’ highest trekking peak: Mera Peak (6,476 meters).

This year, not only are we looking to push ourselves, we are also looking to inspire and support a cause, which in light of this year’s Olympics, allow us to recognize the unifying power of sport and the importance of solidarity.

Arca is a Franco-Brazilian NGO based in a favela in Sao Paulo that aims to empower their residents with the opportunity of a better future . To do so, they provide additional education to children to prohibit them from falling into drug dealing and offer training as well as technological support to their families.
