AP Everest Summit Attempt is go...


Good luck to everyone on the Adventure Peaks Everest (NE Ridge) Expedition. The final summit preparations are underway and everyone should be moving up to Camp 1 from the North Col today. They have a small weather window on the 23rd May but with a storm brewing for the 24th. The regular AP Sherpa team have worked wonders again and the route is open to the summit. A few folk, mainly Sherpas, did summit during the small weather window on the 17th. A number of teams have also summited on the regular South Col route but the main bulk of teams aiming for the 22nd from this side. Good luck to everyone including Stu, Geordie, Josh, Keith, Andrew, Heather, Nigel, Nuru, Sonam & Surrendra who I've had the pleasure of climbing and training with over the past few years.
