Conquering New Heights- Caspian One takes on Mont Buet for Charity!
In September, Caspian One’s Board Directors reached new heights, mountain climbing 3,096 mt above sea level… all in aid of charity. Sponsored by the team at Hawker Chase.
At Caspian One, teamwork is more than just a value – it's ingrained in every step we take. We don't just talk about our values; we live by them each day and have done so from the start!
That’s why in September, Caspian One's Board Directors including Founding Director Marcus Graziano, Co-Founder Lee Barnett, Sales Director Adam Vipond, and Director of Projects Ellen Price - embarked on the ambitious ascent to the top of Mont Buet (towering three times higher than Mount Snowdon!).
The team completed this to fundraise for specific charities, each close to their hearts. Can we count on your support? If you would like to donate to a great cause, click the links provided:

The itinerary
Arrive in Chamonix 5th of September, followed by Acclimatisation hikes on the 6th & 7th of September.
On the 8th of September, it’s Summit Day. The hike begins with a gentle uphill through the Berard Valley, passing the spectacular Cascade de Bèrárd waterfall and following mountain streams to Refuge de la Pierre a Bèrárd. From here, the steep ascent begins via challenging stony trails, followed by climbing over the large boulders of Aiguille de Salenton... We enter the lunar landscape of the National Park with a final steep push to the summit. A long descent the way we climbed, returning to the chalet in Chamonix for a well-earned celebration dinner & drinks!
