On the 23rd of June 2011, MS suffer Sally Hyder successfully climbed Ben Nevis in a BOMA off road electric wheelchair supplied by Molten Rock. A critical factor for Sally was that at no point would she or the Boma be carried; this was a drive to the top.

Thanks go out to the extraordinary support team including mountain guide Alan Kimber, the submariners from the Royal Navy and the astonishing firefighters. Without their energy and enthusiasm the challenge would not have been possible.

Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the United Kingdom and not something to be taken on lightly. The Boma 7 was certainly put through its paces; to quote Alan Kimber "the only way we could have been harder on the Boma is if we had thrown rocks at it!"

Molten Rock Equipment Ltd was founded in 2004 by engineer Chris Swift (35). Chris is a Tetraplegic and has been a wheelchair user following a neurological illness at the age of 19. Chris's vision was for a wheelchair that would give him and other wheelchair users the freedom to enjoy the great outdoors.

Designed, engineered and manufactured entirely in the UK, Molten Rock's BOMA wheelchairs are suitable for a wide range of users, from those who have difficulty walking, to tetraplegics such as Chris who may require a joystick control. Customers have been emailing Molten Rock following the cold winter, raving about how the wheelchair performed in even the deepest snow.

"It's fantastic to be part of such a great team and we are proud to be associated with Sally and her adventures. Hopefully this will show more wheelchair users that the outdoors is now truly accessible; whether it's the local park or the mountains of Scotland!" - Chris Swift, Founder, Molten Rock.
