After a restful 3 days, we are back at Chinese Basecamp awaiting a summit window. The weather is great. We all feel fantastic after the rest at lower altitude and are chomping at the bit to get going. Patience is the key now. Thanks for following.
In April 2014, I attempted to climb Mt. Everest before an avalanche in the icefall claimed the lives of 18 Sherpa. A year later (May 2015), I returned to Mt. Everest only to witness a 7.8 earthquake while at camp 1. I am preparing to climb again in April 2018 but this blog is dedicated to my purposeful pursuits. Please be sure to check out the charities that I support and follow me on twitter (@pem725) or instagram (pem725).

Fantastic day of climbing up to the North Col. Weather was warm and sunny throughout the day. Now we are huddled in our tent as 20 knot winds lash the sides.
