Everest, Top of the World
-
We decided that Everest Base Camp was just too easy, so prepare yourself…
This might shock you!
A view from the top of the World!
I know that we just started telling you about our trek to Mount Everest, but we couldn’t contain ourselves, we are just too excited to share the news with you.
Our Sherpa decided that we were so strong, we could continue past the Kumbhu Ice Fall and go to camp II.
Approaching the South Col!
What all of you don’t know is that Dave and I have been in Nepal for quite awhile and have had ample time to acclimatize to the extreme altitude.
So instead of wasting weeks of posts to tell you the news, we are just going to skip to the end.
We summited Mount Everest!!!!
Enjoy this photo of Dave standing proud, it took a lot to take with the lack of Oxygen and all.

Awesome! I am so glad that we got a lot of you! It was all Dave’s idea, he is the comedian between the two of us. I love his face put into the photo on top of Everest. Yee haw! Happy April Fools Day!
Everest would be fantastic. Only recently I found out how much it costs to summit and it is STEEP.
At closer glance that photo does look like it had a little Photoshop action done on it. Good one!
