One more day in Khatmandu which sucks but it is a big group and the logistics are immense. I have my Tibet climbing visa and all of my gear, bags are packed and ready to ship. I don't know what to do with all of the free time as I just want to go, but I am trying to chill which of course is difficult. The hotel we are at is minimal which is a compliment but the climbing world is on a budget. The city is busy and crowded and the air is thick with diesel exhaust and dust. I have been wearing a filter over my nose and mouth which is a bad fashion choice but better for the lungs. The jet lag is better but not gone.
This blog site sucks incidentally. I still can't load a photo but Bill will figure it out, won't you?
On April 17, John Rigney and Edmond Stevens depart on their most lofty adventure to date: to travel to Nepal and Tibet and to climb the North Col of Sagarmatha/Chomolungma...or as better known in the western world, Mount Everest. Watch for our regular post, pics, videos, and commentary as we attempt to follow the route of the early Everest pioneers up the Rongbuk glacier to the North Shoulder of the world's highest peak.
