Everest Trek 2010

The Everest Trek 2010 will take place between April/15 until the middle of May, or about four weeks. We will try to coordinate our arrival to Base Camp at the time Everest climbers will be just finishing their acclimatization and preparing for the summit push.

The duration of this trek will be about 4 weeks roundtrip.

Nepal’s capital city, Kathmandu is where we will begin and end the trek. As one of the World’s most famous (or is it infamous?) cities, visiting Kathmandu will be an adventure in itself. I love this city and always look forward to spending time there.

No. We will be leading the trek, but all of the logistics, guiding, flotsam and jetsam will be handled by Mountain Tribes. MT is a Nepali owned, Kathmandu-based company that has a stellar reputation for adventuresome, safe and enjoyable treks and mountaineering. If you’ve watched Jon’s podcast then you are already familiar with some of Mountain Tribes’ staff. These guys are top notch.

So far, we’re thinking that in order to guarantee a successful learning environment for the workshop aspect of this trek we will need to limit the group to 15 participants plus Jon, Chris & Monika and their Sherpa staff. This is going to be a very intense experience and we want to keep it small so everyone will get to know each other and still have full access to Jon & Chris.

Please see the newsletter that we sent out Sep/1/2009. It contains all information on pricing and registration.

Here is the the equipment list from last year's trek as a PDF file, as provided by Jon Miller. The list contents are based on Jon's experience and have proven to be pretty accurate and practical on the 2009 trek.
