EXETER climbers Carl Chudley, 26, and his colleague Neville Mogford are organising a marathon mountain climb around the world.
Starting next April, they intend crossing four continents in six months.
They will start in Russia, climbing Mt Elbrus, then travel to Nepal to climb Mera, followed by Kilimanjaro in Africa and ending in Peru to climb the Machu Picchu ruins.
If they have the time in between they will look to complete further climbs en route.
The pair are looking to raise £50,000 with a minimum of £30,000 going to aid the vital work of Voluntary Service Overseas.
Carl said: "While on our treks we will visit some of the sites VSO has in Africa, Peru and Nepal.
"We are doing this as we believe the work VSO is doing is amazing and is making such a difference. At present, we are still seeking financial support from corporate sponsors but believe we will easily hit our target and exceed it.
"Our first event will be an 80 and 90s quiz night at Exeter Phoenix on September 29, 8pm to 10pm. The entrance fee is £20 per team and sponsor forms are available by emailing ."
