The group set off earlier this year to scale the world's highest peak and said 'out of evil, much good has come.'
Scots survivors of horrific child abuse have united to climb Mount Everest to raise nearly £50,000 for a national children's charity.
They travelled to Nepal in April to trek at ultra-high altitude in the Himalayas. They reached Everest Base Camp on April 12. If left untreated, the condition can be fatal. After receiving medical treatment, Giles returned to the mountain for three more weeks and made a further attempt to get up Khumbu Icefall and through the route to the higher camps.
Andrew, 37, made it to the summit of Everest on May 21, with three Sherpa guides and colleagues - PK Sherpa, Mingma Sherpa, and Sonam Sherpa. Andy, who grew up in Helensburgh but now lives in Portland, Oregon, said he was thrilled to complete his lifelong ambition of getting to the top of the world's highest peak.
