Nightmares on Wax star George Evelyn, aka Dr Ease, who is originally from Leeds but now lives in Ibiza, performed for 30 minutes at Crater Camp - the closest point to the summit where it’s possible to obtain a license for record breaking attempts.

He was part of a group of trekkers raising money for the Last Night a DJ Saved My Life Foundation, which is funding a specialist accommodation centre for children and single mothers in Tanzania, Feathers Tale.

The international team of 17 climbers also included M-People drummer Shovell, and the charity’s founder Jonny Lee.

George said: “Each step of the way I feel I was shown the might of the human spirit.”

The trek has so far raised more than £62,500. To add to the total, click here.
