The winds were supposed to pick up around noon on the south side, and perhaps the north but we’ll see what the climbers report.<\/p>\n

Teenage Summits<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0Transcend<\/a> Indian team continued their success with four more teenagers on top along with six Sherpas.<\/p>\n

For those curious about the teenagers with Transcend. Their home team gave me some additional information today:<\/p>\n

I would like to mention here that in spite of the young age of all these climbers, our core team of trainers & instructors have made sure that they have received ample training before being to an expedition like Everest. To be very specific, our’s is definitely not the type of Adventure Company that promotes to take a weekend trekker to the Mt. Everest.<\/p>\n

To give you a very basic idea of what goes into our training, after the initial selection based of physical and mental tests, the climbers are sent to one of the first and oldest Mountaineering Institutes of India for their Basic Mountaineering Course. Over here, these candidates are not only trained in the techniques of Ice & Rock Craft but made to trek through one of the toughest mountain terrains.<\/p>\n

The amount of load the climber carries along with the tough terrain, makes this trek a nightmare to most. And only those who have successfully cleared this course with the highest merit are taken to the next level: Winter Training. In this part, the trainees are made to experience almost the same weather conditions, terrain, etc., that one would find on an 8000m peak like Everest. And only after the trainee has cleared all these physical and mental aptitude tests, he\/she is taken to the Everest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
