Everest is back on

Well some awesome news today!

Jamie McGuiness our expedition organiser who has been in Nepal these past weeks trying to make through the confusing and frustrations over no permits being issues, contacted us advising that a climbing permit has been granted to our team by the Nepalese government enabling us to climb Everest from the Nepalese side.

Wow..talk about a pick me up!

This is most positive news after Tibet and Everest will be closed from the North side and we were faced with the grim prospect of waiting atleast another year to try again.

We are to get to Nepal before end of next week to immediately commence the expedition.

So, lots of organising gear this weekend in final preparation.

My website
http://www.spiritofeverest.com/ will be updated over the next few days to reflect these change in plans and also have detailed route information for those of you interested to follow along.

Bye for now. David
