Basestation residents and friends took part in this year's Mount Everest challenge!

Now in its 10th year, this annual challenge sets the goal of going up Mount Maunganui 38 times in 50 days (the equivalent to climbing Mount Everest) You can do this solo or as part of a team.

We had 15 Basestation residents, staff, friends, and whānau taking part in this year's Everest Challenge.  After doing some calculations we worked out that between us all we climbed up Mauao 237 times!
