Carlos Reine is on the verge of completing an extraordinary personal challenge, climbing all 214 Wainwright peaks in the Lake District within 12 months.
In addition to managing his own photography business, home and family life with his fiancée Karen and daughter Olivia, Carlos has spent the year conquering the fells, tackling everything from steep climbs to unpredictable weather, all while raising awareness and funds for Hospice at Home West Cumbria and Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team.
Richard Warren, spokesperson for WMRT, said, “This year has been an extremely busy time for our volunteer rescuers, with over 160 callouts and an anticipated 180 by the end of 2024. Running the team costs over £100,000 every year, and this is all covered through generous donations such as that raised by Carlos with his 2024 Wainwright Challenge.
“It is a very fitting challenge and not something usually done so quickly, so hats off to Carlos. We wish him all the best for his final ascent of Latrigg and what will be a very well-deserved rest. ”
