Conquering Mount Everest at 77

28 Aug 2024

Bill, a foundation member of Devonport City Probus Club trekked to the Everest Base Camp.

This is an amazing achievement completed by a very fit 77-year-old man.

He described it as a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, although he is considering going back to do more trekking on Everest.

Bill’s training and determination to succeed has inspired many people from within the Club, who enjoy the saying, “reach for the moon, even if you land among the stars, at least you have tried.”

There are many invaluable lessons in determination and wisdom from Bill and the Club congratulates him for fulfilling his dream of trekking Everest.
