Everest Season Underway
By Amy Jurries
The 2009 Everest season is underway! I just read the my favorite
Lakpa Rita Sherpa was honored by the Ministry of Tourism this
week for being the first Nepali to climb the Seven Summits.
Pretty cool-Go Lakpa!
Two of the people in the group I descended Denali with last
summer will be climbing Everest with Alpine Ascents this season:
Kathy Setian and Michael Morales. Go Kathy and Michael! I will be
watching their progress here: http://www.alpineascents.com/everest-cybercast.asp
Still no word on when and if the North side of the mountain is
going to open up. I will be interested to see how Russell
and his huge Himex team do on the South Side this
year and look forward to the Discovery Channel taping of the
IMG team as well.
