The Rest of Everest Returns From Hiatus!

Keywords:
episode, Rest, Everest, Lhasa, Rest of Everest, show, trekkers, Hiatus, altitude, One

Image from Google One of my favorite podcasts of all time came off an extended hiatus last week, when The Rest of Everest Episode 152 was released at last. The show has long been a fantastic, and very in depth, look at not only climbing Everest, but also trekking in Nepal and other sections of the Himalaya. This latest episode begins where we left off months ago, when a team of trekkers headed to Lhasa in Tibet to prepare for their Himalayan adventure. As the episode opens, we're reminded that the altitude gain from ...

As a tourist, the Jokhang does not disappoint. There are throngs of religious pilgrims praying, chanting and prostrating around the temple [...]

Everest Fall 2010: Rain On The Trail To Base Camp

Eric, teams, camp, Everest, fall, Base Camp, trail, Fall Season, Himalaya, Rain

Image from Google The Fall Season on Everest is set to begin, and climbers are already in the Himalaya and making their way to Base Camp. Typically the Fall Season in the Himalaya is very quiet, with just a few teams working the more prominent peaks, and relatively deserted base camps when compared to the crazy traffic in the spring. Nowhere is this more evident than on Everest, which will play host to just a handful of teams in the weeks ahead. One of the climbers hoping to summit this fall is Eric Larsen who is on the ...

Image from Google I've been mentioning it for weeks, and now it is upon us. The 2010 Himalaya season has begun, with the first teams already arriving in Kathmandu and setting out for the various peaks that they will challenge this spring. Meanwhile, as has become all to common in recent years, it seems that Tibet is once again closed to outside visitors. ExWeb cited reports from climbers yesterday that the borders into Tibet are once again closed , with no set date for when they'll reopen again. Rumors are suggesting that

The Everest spring season is about a month off yet, but for the climbers and trekkers heading to the Himalaya this spring, it already looms large on the horizon. One of the burning questions for the past few years has been what kind of access would teams have from the North, or Tibetan, side of the mountain. In 2008, the Chinese closed off the peak in order to give their Olympic Torch Team full access for their run to the summit. Last year, a violent protest in Lhasa, and other parts of Tibet, forced them
