HSX and their members are also notable for a series of high profile expeditions. Between 2003 and 2006, HSX member and Hampshire Scout leader Rhys Jones succeeded in climbing the seven highest mountains on all seven continents and in doing so became the youngest person to do so. The first summit was Mount McKinley (subsequently renamed Denali), the highest mountain in North America, which he tackled when he was 17 with a team from HSX. This was followed by Mount Kilimanjaro (Africa), Aconcagua (South America), Mount Elbrus (Europe), Mount Kosciuszko (Australia), Mount Vinson (Antarctica) and concluding with Mount Everest on 17 May 2006, his 20th birthday. Jones, and his wife Laura who completed long distance runs, are both Scout Adventurers.
