Oregon Scientific is getting high for a rock concert.

 

Tualatin-based Oregon Scientific, a designer and marketer of upscale personal electronics, on Friday announced a partnership with the Love Hope Strength Foundation as an official sponsor of "Everest Rocks" on Mount Everest.

 

A 14-day trek up Mount Everest by 40 musicians and mountaineers, Everest Rocks will culminate with the first-ever rock concert to take place at Mount Everest's Base Camp. Footage of the concert, the trek and events leading up to it will be filmed exclusively using Oregon Scientific's ATC2K Waterproof Action Cam.

 

The concert will raise money for worldwide cancer research and the Nepal Cancer Relief Society, said Mike Prager, president of Oregon Scientific.

 

The climb is designed to bring awareness to and also raise money for the Love Hope Strength Foundation, founded by two-time cancer survivor and rock icon, Mike Peters of the UK band "The Alarm" and fellow cancer survivor James Chippendale, president of CSI Entertainment, one of the country's largest entertainment and sports insurance brokers.

 

Joining Peters and Chippendale on the 18,000-foot climb will be Slim Jim Phantom of the Stray Cats, Nick Harper, Squeeze's Glenn Tilbrook, and The Fixx's Cy Curnin and Jamie West-Oram.

 

Mount Everest, which is part of the Himalayan range in Asia, is located on the border between Nepal and Tibet, China.
