Uh oh, I woke this morning and packed everything before I opened my tent and saw that it had snowed during the night. Not a big deal I thought, yea right. We are on the north side of Everest, the dry side, and this is April, the dry season, it is not supposed to be snowing. Well it is which makes finding the trail in loose rocks impossible and rolling your ankle more likely. The yaks that were to carry the equipment don't want to go in the snow over these rocks either. Hmmmm
We are trying to get a weather forecast to see how long this will last. If too long......

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.
