A Guinness World Record attempt raising money for the conservation of our precious rainforests.
Nick Hollis is an international mountaineer who's seen our impact on the natural world first-hand. He's set a world record attempt to promote environmental responsibility and raise funds for the conservation of our planet's most precious resource: its rainforests. To complete the 721 Challenge Nick will climb the Seven Summits, ski the North and South Poles and row the Atlantic Ocean in world record speed. He has already climbed the highest mountain on every continent, skied solo from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole, and now has only two more challenges to go in his race against climate change.
"721 Challenge is about making as much noise around global warming as possible. Everyone coming on board is interested in protecting our planet, whether it's companies that want to make a change or individuals looking for an opportunity to do something positive. Join us in conserving threatened habitats and wildlife. Join us in our race against climate change."

7 Summits
Nick has already completed the 7 Summits challenge, having climbed the highest peak on each of the 7 continents including Mount Everest. It is one of the most respected mountaineering feats in the world, and he is only the 37th person in the UK to complete it.
2 Poles
Following in the footsteps of the great explorers, Nick has skied the long traditional route to the South Pole, traveling more than ten times the usual distance. In 2024, Nick will make his North Pole attempt, if successful, Nick will be the 18th person in the world to have completed the Explorer’s Grand Slam.
Named The World’s Toughest Row, Nick will be taking part in a solo row across the Atlantic Ocean (expecting to take 60-70 days). If successful, Nick will be the fastest and the second person in history to complete the 7 summits, skied both poles and rowed across the Atlantic Ocean.
Through his expeditions as a mountaineer, Nick has witnessed our environmental impact on the natural world first-hand. This has inspired him to place environmental responsibility at the heart of the 721 challenge. Working in support of our partner World Land Trust’s conservation project, Colombia's Forests of Mist
Through his expeditions as a mountaineer Nick has witnessed our environmental impact on the natural world first-hand. This has inspired him to place environmental responsibility at the heart of the 721 Challenge. Working with the World Land Trust 721 will be supporting the expansion of a nature reserve providing vital protection for endangered species in Guatemala.
Working with the World Land Trust conservation charity we are getting schools on board for our fundraising project, with all proceeds going towards the expansion of a nature reserve protecting a unique habitat under threat. Rescue an area of rainforest the size of your school and help contribute to an excellent cause.
