To kick off the jubilee celebration of OBHK, we are bringing back the HK Vertical 1000 challenge for another 40 high-fliers to abseil down the face of One Island East on 22 & 23 November 2019. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get involved in something that will likely never happen again.
Participants will forever be able to look up and know that they are one of a very select band of special individuals who made the descent, who contributed to OBHK and consequently have helped change the lives of young people.
The initial registration fee at $50,000 is used to cover and maintain the operation of the event. Every additional $5,000 would provide an opportunity for one disadvantaged youth to attend our 5 day self-discovery programme to change their outlook on life. The proceeds will also be used to ensure our equipment is up to date and provides a safe experience for our participants.
Leading the team, once again, is the world renowned mountain guide, Iain Peter, supported by the same highly experienced team of guides who successfully delivered the 2017 event. The team have well over 200 years of combined experience of working in world’s highest mountains, biggest rock walls and ice climbs. This will be their 6###sup/sup### tall building abseil and if you are going to descend a long way on a rope then you are in the best hands!
November 22 or 23 – a great way to end the year. Bring your friends and family to watch the descent outside the building and celebrate with them afterwards (details to be confirmed).
