Team Geared Up

I have just received word that Clare O’Leary has summited Mt Vinson in Antarctica, completing the 7 summits challenge. She has now climbed to the highest point in each of the 7 continents, and the first Irish woman to do so. And Falvey has done each twice now.

The Team Summited Mt. Vinson at a height of 4897m on the 15th December at 4pm (8pm Irish time) consisting of Dr Clare O’Leary, John Dowd and Team leader Pat Falvey who has now completed the challenge twice, making him one of a handful worldwide to have done so. It is Kerryman John Dowd’s second successful continental high point.
