We have Everest teams all over Nepal at the moment. Bad weather in Lukla forced some to take buses to Jiri where they are still trying to get to Lukla. Others have taken helicopters due to their flexibility over the fixed winged flights.<\/p>\n
A few teams are at Base Camp and those climbing from Tibet, well that still won’t leave Kathmandu until April 10.<\/p>\n

So with this lull, let me introduce a few more climbers you might find interesting<\/p>\n
Jelle just cycled from Belgium to Kathmandu in 5 months and covered 13.000km. He is now in Namache waiting for the rest of the Asian trekking team to join him. His website is www.jelleveyt.be<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sibu was the first black African to summit Everest and is going back this time to attempt the summit without oxygen.\u00a0 He also did the North and South Poles.\u00a0 He is a real inspiration for the youth of South Africa.\u00a0 It is Saray’s first attempt and if she succeed she will be the first black African lady to summit. They are also climbing with Asian Trekking. You can follow them on Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n Best of luck to these climbers.<\/p>\n Climb On!
