Danes on Everest

Right now four Danes are fighting there way up Everest. They are spread over 2 - 3 expeditions. This means that one is client in a big international group. (almost like all the other Danish ascents and of course with the use of artificial oxygen) Another proof - that Everest is apparently for all - with or without experience. A proof of what???
The other three "share" another expedition but do not have the same plan of the ascent. Again two new climbers who want to climb Everest - which they probably do! They do not have much experience, but with a huge setup there will be safe for the trip up and down.

The last Dane trying on Everest this year is an "old legend". He has had two previous attempts - both from the south side. This year it is from the north and without the use of artificial oxygen and only with BC support. Amazing - again a sincere attempt to cilmb Everest the hard and right way. If anyone can climb Everest without oxygen - it is Bo Belvedere. He has several 8000m climbs, new climbs and strong alpine climbs over many years. I believe in him and wish him a safe climb up and down. Be safe up there.
