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.

My home for 8 days at 21,300.
There is no fast way to acclimate. We tried to keep climbing too soon and ran out of gas fast - which is a polite way of saying we ran out of everything that our bodies used to have. The ability to breath, muscles that work when you command them and an attitude of can do. We returned to rest and acclimate for another couples of days before continuing.
