Mountains

A blind lawyer is aiming to climb 24 mountain peaks in 24 hours while tethered to his boss to prove he can push his body “to the limit like everyone else can”.

After having a brain tumour removed, Jules Mountain decided to accept an invitation to climb the world's highest peak, Everest.

Laurie Crayston, from Frizington, set off on his challenge earlier this month by ticking off the three mountains in Dartmoor before gradually moving north.
