The trio of club officers set a goal to climb the highest peak of the High Tatra Mountains on August 29, 2018, to observe The Slovak National Uprising, which took place during World War II in 1944. The commemorative climb also served as a team-building opportunity, allowing the members to push their boundaries and reach the top together.
