Part 12 of Everyday Everest, <\/strong><\/em>my new Podcast series, drops today with chapters 37, 38, and 39. I’ll continue my annual coverage as usual.<\/p>\n

Based on my 2020 Virtual Everest<\/a> series, Everyday Everest<\/strong><\/em> 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.<\/p>\n

In Part 12, our protagonist, Harper was confident and ready to get going. Sitting around base camp, even with the occasional hike to Pumori or Gorak Shep, was getting old. The conversation around the dining table was also getting old. It was time.<\/p>\n

The main characters are<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Harper – protagonist, strong climber,\u00a0 <\/span>Aconcagua, Denali (Husband -Marc, Daughter – Olivia, Son – Jay)<\/li>\n
  2. Dutch – solid climber, quirky<\/li>\n
  3. Tony – solid climber, introvert, impatient<\/li>\n
  4. Michael – Good experience, Manaslu, good friend<\/li>\n
  5. Jim – Second Everest attempt, not strong<\/li>\n
  6. Aaron – good climber, strong friend<\/li>\n
  7. Bart – good climber, strong friend<\/li>\n
  8. Pablo – weak mentally, Aconcagua, Denali<\/li>\n
  9. Claudia – strong climber,\u00a0 <\/span>Aconcagua, Denali<\/li>\n
  10. Guide John Paul – highly experienced, patient, good leader<\/li>\n
  11. Sidar and Guide – Dawa Sherpa<\/li>\n
  12. Guide – Gyalzen Sherpa<\/li>\n
  13. Guide – Tenzing Sherpa<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We will go through Everest climbing each day as the team arrives in Kathmandu, flies to Luka, and treks to EBC. We’ll follow them at base camp through the acclimatization rotations and receive invaluable help from the Icefall Doctors and Climbing Sherpas. And, of course, the summit pushes starting in mid-May.<\/p>\n

    While there will be accurate historical references, this series is a work of fiction. Names, characters, and incidents are products of the author\u2019s imagination or used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events, locales, or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.<\/p>\n
