 Irish Adventurer's Boots Under the Hammer for Mountain RescueDublin & Wicklow Mountain Rescue will be anxiously watching the hammer drop on a pair of old boots this weekend. They belong to Irish adventurer Pat Falvey and were made specially for him when he wore them during the early stages of an expedition to the summit of Everest "the highest mountain in the world". Pat's off on his adventures again next month when he tries to break new records, walking to the North Pole… but before heading off, he donated his boots to a special auction at the Dublin Auction Rooms on Saturday to raise funds for rescue workers here in Dublin and Wicklow. If you fancy owning a little piece of Irish mountaineering history – the auction starts at noon… and you can check out details at www.dublinauctionrooms.ie The full price bid for Pat Falvey’s boots will be donated to the Dublin & Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team, with The Dublin Auction Rooms not taking any fee for managing the sale.
