Everest 2024: Everyday Everest Podcast Series Part 11–First Summits

Part 11 of Everyday Everest, my new Podcast series, drops today with chapters 31 and 32. I’ll continue my annual coverage as usual.

Based on my 2020 Virtual Everest series, Everyday Everest follows a fictional team of nine climbers and their personal Sherpas from leaving home to trekking to base camp, acclimatizing, and finally, on their summit push, returning home. I’ll have a twenty-minute episode a few times weekly for the next two months.

In Part 11, our protagonist, Harper, gets excited as tGuide John Paul tells the team, “Good news, everyone. The first commercial team summited last night. The storm held off, and they threaded the needle. 20 Japanese members with 22 Climbing Sherpas.” John Paul told his team over breakfast. “Japan has very strong climbers.”

Climb On!
