Geeks on Peaks: Climbing for Classrooms

We're Climbing Ben Nevis to Help Local Kids Get the Tech They Need!

Who Are We?

We’re a group of ethical hackers and penetration testers from NetSPI. While we normally spend our days finding vulnerabilities in computer systems, we’ve decided to take on a very different kind of challenge:

Climbing Ben Nevis, the tallest mountain in the UK!

We’re calling it “Geeks on Peaks” and we suspect climbing mountains might cause even more sweating than security breaches.

Why Are We Doing This?

We’re raising funds for All Saints C of E Primary School, North Hykeham, Lincoln, a primary school local to David Cocking, one of our Senior Managing Security Consultants, that needs new computers and IT equipment for its classrooms. Right now, the children there are trying to learn with outdated, unreliable technology and it’s holding them back.

We believe every child deserves access to modern tools that can help them learn, grow, and prepare for the digital world ahead.

Technology opens doors. We want to help open them, to create a better future for us all.

The Goal:

We’re aiming to raise £5,000 to help the school purchase:

- New laptops and tablets for students

- Interactive whiteboards

- Software to support coding, creativity, and learning

- Training for teachers to get the most from this tech

Every pound you donate goes directly towards giving these children a better, brighter future. Even better still: every pound you donate up to our £5,000 goal will be matched by NetSPI, doubling any donation you make!

The Challenge:

On Saturday 25th October, we’ll tackle Ben Nevis’ 1,345m ascent swapping keyboards for hiking boots and pentests for peak climbs. We’re more comfortable with network traffic than mountain paths, but we’re determined to make it to the top… even if our muscles complain and the cramps set in!

We’re doing this because we believe small actions can create big change.

How You Can Help:

1️⃣ Donate whatever you can - even £5 makes a difference.

2️⃣ Share this page - spread the word to friends, family, and fellow geeks.

3️⃣ Follow our journey - we’ll share updates on training, the climb, and how your donations are making a real impact.

Why This Matters:

At NetSPI, our job is to protect businesses by testing their security. But outside of work, we want to help protect something even more important: the future of local children who deserve every opportunity to succeed.

Your support helps make that happen.

Thank You!

Your generosity will help these kids climb their own mountains in learning, in confidence, and in life.

Thank you for supporting Geeks on Peaks : Climbing for Classrooms.
