Mount Everest The British Story
Welcome back to Everest BC. Pick yourself a nice soft rock, have a seat, look around, and enjoy being there.
I can only imagine that finally being in base camp again, must take it up a notch for you !
Alan in one of your earlier posts you mentioned asking Eric Simonson and Russell Brice about their move out of the “main town” at the foot of the icefall, and you hinted that you would share some of what they had to say later. Not sure if I missed it or not but would love to hear about that conversation. Climb on !!
Glad to hear your voice…you sound strong and excited….be safe as you climb on!!!
