MEMBERS of the Bude Surf Boat Club are in training for a world record attempt that will see them scaling the equivalent of Mount Everest on a specialist climbing machine.

The eight-strong, all female team is preparing to make the attempt in March on the Versaclimber Sport and beat the current record of 8,848m in two hours, 45 minutes and 53 seconds, set by a group from Fusion Gym, Bude in September 2006.
