STUDENTS who conquered their fear of heights raised nearly £1,200 for Scouts.
The teenagers, from Prior Pursglove College, Guisborough, abseiled off the town's viaduct in support of the 3rd Guisborough Scouts.
They raised £1,180.35 towards helping to restore the ceiling of the Scout hut, in Belmangate.
Chris Gell, group Scout leader, said: "It is such a great feeling when another group of young people takes the time to support others in the community."
About 40 students took part in the fundraising event. Jack Graham, 16, fromMarske, said: "We are really pleased with the amount we have raised. The abseil was great fun and it was a good feeling to be able to hand over the cheque."
