A Radio Announcement

Following the exhilarating climb, Amanda took to the radio waves to share her thoughts and emotions about this life-changing experience. In a conversation with Jamie, she humorously recounted the dare she had accepted, saying, "They dared me, they said 'If you go up one more iron sort of curly bit more, we will have gone higher than anyone basically'."

Intriguingly, Amanda revealed that Wing Commander Adam Collins from the Red Arrows had previously been the only individual to reach a comparable height. However, her historic ascent had now surpassed even his remarkable achievement.

Amanda also gave listeners a glimpse into the intensity of the moment, sharing, "It honestly, I was absolutely terrified, my knees and legs went to jelly. You sort of learn to trust the equipment." This candid revelation highlighted the sheer physical and emotional challenges that Amanda had confronted during her ascent.

However, Amanda's commitment to her cause shone through as she passionately called for donations, emphasizing that the daring climb was dedicated to supporting Global’s Make Some Noise. She urged listeners, saying, "If you can afford it this morning, please give what you can." This heartfelt plea underscored the urgency and importance of supporting the charity's vital work.
