Justin Jones & James Castrission

James and Justin are two Knox College educated, articulate and life-loving young men who decided to achieve dreams beyond the corporate world.

James, 25, earned a Bachelor of Commerce then worked as a consultant and analyst for Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu before deciding that mountaineering, rock climbing, bushwalking and kayaking should be the focus of his life. He has climbed some of the most challenging peaks in Australia and New Zealand and walked some of the most breathtaking tracks too.

Justin, 24, is studying for his masters of commerce at the University of New South Wales after having completed an advanced science degree with honours in physiology. Like James, he also graduated with a degree in extreme exploits.

They had kayaked the length of the Murray River, all 2560kms, and the treacherous Bass Strait as virtual training runs. They had run the Sydney Marathon; they had achieved their yachting crew qualifications and dueled with the open waters under sail.
