Wrap
Our group arrived in Kathmandu a day
ago, it's been abit of a culture change to
say the least.
Since
the last dispatch the Yaks were loaded in
ABC and walked to Chinese camp without a
hitch. That night we stayed in beautiful
downtown Tingri. The drive from Tingri was
spectacular- we had unobstructed views of
Everest, Shishapangma and endless
Himalayan summits. Our senses were aroused
as we descended thousands of feet into
lush pine and bamboo forests throughout
the drive entering the Kathmandu
valley.
From
the team we would like to thank The North
Face, Fenwick and West, Black Diamond,
Suunto, Brunton, JetBoil, Smartwool, Laura
at Kiehls, ICEAXE.TV, and LifeLink.
These
sponsors generous participation added to
the overall success of our
expedition.
Thanks
again,
