According exploresweb ( http://www.explorersweb.com/everest_k2/ ) is the first ascents of Everest this season just confirmed.
Again this year, many expeditions is to find in the Khumbu valley and put their hopes toward the top of Everest.
For those of you who have been in BC knows it's a big circus. people from around the world are gathered here for the sole purpose to get on top of the world's highest mountain. Exciting but also disturbing because the vast majority who climb Everest has little or no experience to draw upon. This could mean serious consequences for themselves and especially others on the mountain.
Everest is the tallest mountain and it attracts people ... I understand and everyone has the right to achieve their dreams in the way they think is best.
For me is Everest a mountain filled with history, mystery and challenge. The day I try to climb Everest, it will be on a small team and without using artificial oxygen.
Any way...... This morning 09:15 am (Nepal time), Apa Sherpa, Climbing Leader of the Eco Everest Expedition 2011 reached the summit of Mt. Everest for the 21st time in a New World Record.
Danish Søren Ledet is in BC after an attempt to reach C4 a few days ago. Soren hope to gather strength for another attempt very soon. I'm sending positive energy to Soren and wish him the best. stay safe up there!
