Summit Push Tonight

Well, after what’s been a truly emotional ride for us this season, we are delighted to announce our summit push is finally about to be underway. The team will be leaving the South Col around 2200, and we wait for them to check in from the Balcony around 5-6 hours later. An exiting 24 hours lies ahead! We hope for an early summit tomorrow, the winds are low and skies clear. If everything goes well for Lopsang and Jorge, the plan will be to then rest another day at the South Col, and then push on for Lhotse. We’re delighted with the weather forecast and the huge number of summits so far.

“Why not make the best investment you can?”

“I have been climbing big mountains for 20+ years. Having been on multiple Himalayan expeditions, I will never consider another guide or outfitter other than BBE moving forward. They lead the pack from a logistics, infrastructure, food quality, personal attention, and safety perspective by a WIDE margin. Willie is not only an extraordinarily strong, capable, seasoned guide, but he is also a great expedition leader and teammate who manages to keep the atmosphere light, fun, and inclusive despite the serious nature of Himalayan climbing. Most of us only have one chance at Everest. Why not make the best investment you can, choose BBE! ”
