Part 15 of Everyday Everest, <\/strong><\/em>my new Podcast series, drops today with chapters 46, 47, and 48. 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 15, our protagonist, Harper along with Mingma, took a few more steps towards a snow bench and the prayer flag-covered summit. They could go no higher.\u00a0Mingma keyed the radio and let out a yell, \u201cSummittttttttttttt.\u201d<\/p>\n

The main characters are<\/p>\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

    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    While there will be accurate historical references, this series is a work of fiction.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
