This exec and climber has a peak he wants to conquer. It’s not Everest

Jon Cheesbrough is director of the property advisory and project delivery firm Verto Projects. He lives at Araluen Estate in the Perth Hills.

Why climbing? I grew up in the Lake District in England, so I never really had a choice. Walking up Helvellyn or Scafell Pike was a normal weekend as a kid. I kept going back because I like the problem of it: picking a line, finding the next foothold, getting a bit out of breath and a bit nervous, and enjoying it anyway.
