The fundraiser has been taking place for over 25 years, with participants climbing 1,776 steps to try to make a difference for wildlife.
This year's event will take place on Saturday, April 4th and Sunday, April 5th. Participants can climb as an individual or with a team of family, friends, colleagues, or students and must meet the minimum fundraising requirement of $120 per person.
