We’re delighted to be collaborating with world record holder Pauline Sanderson to create ‘World’s Longest Climb’- a motivational business event based on Everestmax, Pauline’s historic 8,000km voyage from the Dead Sea to Everest.
The activity brings teams together in a race to become the first to ‘travel’ from the world’s lowest point to its highest, in one continuous ‘journey’, just like Pauline did when she completed Everestmax.
An interactive large scale board game, it incorporates versions of real-life situations including bikes, bad weather, a climb and fund-raising – and asks the participants to work together to tackle practical travel issues such as changing tyres as well as cultural ones, such as overcoming language and culture barriers and preconceptions: all things Pauline herself did as part of her record-breaking trip through Syria, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Nepal and Tibet.
We were hugely inspired by Pauline’s story and recognise that so many challenges she faced were the kind of things that affect us in everyday life and certainly in business. By using her experiences and recreating them, the activity has a really authentic feel.
The two to three hour session focuses on logistical, technical, leadership, cultural and social skills and allows the winning team to raise money for their chosen charity, in the same way that Pauline raised funds for charities in her trek.
We’ve created the game to fit into conferences of up to 100 people, or be used as a standalone activity, with teams of six to 10. Our ethos is always to make teambuilding fun, using real life situations and environments. We’ve been delighted to work with Pauline on this programme and are confident it will be a huge success, particularly when she is involved to set the scene in an opening speech.
