The climbers who will attempt to climb Cho Oyu in the Himalayas, the sixth highest mountain in the world, left for Kathmandu last Wednesday, taking with them a stock of Duracell premium quality rechargeable batteries to power up their expedition equipment.
Marco Cremona, Gregory Attard and Robert Gatt will attempt to break the 8,000 metre elevation barrier, also known as the Death Zone.
Brand manager for Duracell at V.J. Salomone Marketing Ltd John Montanaro said: "Duracell stands for determination, self-confidence, and reliability - qualities that the Challenge 8000 climbers must possess in order to attempt this arduous expedition.
"Duracell is proud to be a Platinum Sponsor of Challenge 8000 and to be part of an event of national pride."
The expedition equipment that will be powered by Duracell batteries include devices such as cameras, camcorders, satellite phones, MP3 players, headlamps, foot warmers and expedition boot dryers.
