‘Trip of a lifetime’: Ballzy Expeditions helping Australians climb Mount Everest

Aussie company Ballzy Expeditions is helping Australians make the magic journey to summit Mount Everest, the highest place on Earth. What started as a passion for founder Luke Rollnik soon evolved into a business as he took people to Everest Base Camp. Mr Rollnik named the company Ballzy Expeditions to honour the legacy of his friend and mentor who passed away from testicular cancer. “It really is the trip of a lifetime. Not only do you achieve something that’s fantastic, you’re also giving back to the communities over there,” Mr Rollnik told Sky News Australia. According to Mr Rollnik, Everest base camp is achievable for most people with “generally good health”, with the eldest expedition participant being 65 years old.
