The peak of achievement

THE PEAK OF ACHIEVEMENT

“Through our endeavours we can demonstrate that one can still achieve great things. If one has support, drive and determination, a debilitating injury should not stop you from reaching your goals". Martin Hewitt, AGS Team Leader. In this world first series, the Adaptive Grand Slam challenge aims to select, train and enable disabled adventurers to take on some of the most extreme expeditions and testing challenges on the planet and inspire others with life-long injuries and disabilities to achieve their goals.

THE EXPLORERS GRAND SLAM – ADAPTED The seven continents. Seven summits. The North and South Poles unsupported.

This is the ultimate challenge for any explorer, pushing the boundaries of human endurance and ability, and conquering the toughest physical challenges on Earth.

Everest. Aconcagua. Denali. Kilimanjaro. Elbrus. Vinson. Puncak Jaya.

The Adaptive Grandslam Project strives to bring extraordinary individuals with life-changing injuries and disabilities to rise to these toughest of challenges, having already completed adapted climbs of Denali, Elbrus, Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, Vinson and Everest, along with unsupported expeditions to the North and South Poles.

OUR STORY

Many people with life changing injuries face a long process of rehabilitation, finding themselves thrown out of action and into the perplexities of physical and psychological obstacles and difficulties with self-acceptance. The AGS was established to select, train and develop disabled teams to tackle extreme expeditions and challenges supported by professional expedition and challenge leaders in order to help members of the disabled community regain confidence, independence and meaningful occupation delivered via the AGS foundation (Registered UK charity number 1173076).

Our vision

The AGS aims to inspire people to achieve the extraordinary. By providing opportunities for people with disabilities to participate in expeditions, and overcome physical challenges, the team hopes to raise awareness of how our community members can overcome adversity, set world records, complete world first attempts, and collaborate with like-minded people. Our vision is to inspire a generation of disabled people to reach or reassess their potential, and through their determination and sense of adventure, advance the development of prosthetics and other adaptive equipment through testing on our endeavours.

OUR Missions

The AGS seeks to tackle the greatest challenges known to mankind. Our first epic series is to complete the notorious Explorers' Grand Slam. Each mission is undertaken by a small core team providing experience and continuity, with additional team members joining singular expeditions. If you are registered disabled and want to take on an extreme challenge, we want to hear from you. If you’re able bodied and would like to join our team on a challenge please get in touch.
