Everest 2008

Much as I did last year, I will be covering the 2008 Mt. Everest Spring Climb. All articles and posts I make concerning this event will be found here and updated daily beginning April 1st. Many of my readers are interested in Mt. Everest. It seems to be one of the few mountains that has no boundaries. Interest lies with the climbers, the teams, and even the reader’s at home. It’s fascination encompasses the world and in May the media directs us to the next season on Everest. Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoy the articles. Anything concerning Mt. Everest, the teams, the individuals ect. will be found here as I post them.
