In 2007, a team of HSX members formed the Sky High team which climbed Mount Everest. The team consisted of Nathan Figg, Tim Clark, James Fry, David King, Andy Smith, Russ Parke and Jeremy White with Clark, Fry and King reaching the top on 21 May 2007. Parke, the Expedition leader, had been planning the expedition since 1998 and chose 2007 due to the centenary of Scouting. The expedition also included Explorer Scouts from Hampshire, who joined the team as far as the Everest base camp before joining community projects in the country, and Chief Scout Peter Duncan who joined them for part of the journey.
