Here
is a short note as we start our 12th expedition to Everest, 11 of which
have been on the North side. I welcome the 5 clients, 2 guides and 8
Sherpas who will all play an important part in the expedition over the
next 2 months.
North
Col
After the success of climbs to the North Col in 2001, Himalayan Experience
is providing for three North Col teams this year.
Logisitics
In order to support this large number of people it is necessary to bring
almost 11,000kg of freight. There is 4,200kg of food, 5,000kg of equipment,
450kg of rope, and another 1,300kg of personal equipment. There will
be approximately 100 yak loads to ABC, a two day journey. So, I welcome
you all to read about our 12th Everest expedition, with 6 nationalities,
8 Sherpas, 7 Everest summits between the staff, and with 9,000kg of
equipment. I hope that our story is a successful and safe one.
