EVEREST EXPEDITION 2012
3.6.2012 -
The Everest expedition begins March 7th, 2012. The last three trips in the past six months were tremendous. I climbed Pangbuk Ri, Cerro Torre, and Aconcagua in preparation for a speed ascent of Mount Everest without oxygen. I will acclimatize by climbing Kiajo Ri prior to arriving in Everest Base Camp early April. April and May are dedicated to climbing Everest. I will make posts weekly prior to arriving at Base Camp and more frequently after I begin establishing camps on the mountain.
Outdoor Research is my primary sponsor for the Everest project. Patagonian Brothers Expeditions will provide basecamp services.
I will be updating my website weekly for the next eight months until I return home from Everest in June of 2012.
