Everest Teams on their Way

Over the past few years I've worked with a number of folk who are following their dreams and heading off to attempt the North East Ridge on Everest this season. Andrew, Heather, Micky, Nigel, Josh, Keith & Geordie are all climbing with Adventure Peaks and David is joining Summit Climb's team. I'd just like to wish them all a safe, successful and enjoyable expedition and will be closely following their progress.

"Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end."
Edward Whymper, Scrambles Amongst the Alps

In addition to the company websites above Everest 1953 and Mount Everest.net both provide good coverage on all the expeditions on both sides of the mountain.
