Since June 2025

It started with three peaks

One challenge, then we were hooked

We came back different. What was meant to be a one-off turned into every free weekend on a hill, and the challenges kept getting bigger — more summits, longer routes, more raised for Dementia UK along the way. There's plenty still on the list.

KM1997 grew out of all that: kit we actually wanted to wear on the mountain and still keep on afterwards. Heavyweight blanks, our own summit mark, designed and printed in the UK — and every drop tested on real ground before it goes out.
