Ross and K, Getting closer. An expert guide one time told me that mountain climbing is a lot about chillin so if you need to sit near the top it can be tough but know your about vertical 17000 ft and four thousand miles closer than any of us writing you.
I had one hell of a couple of weeks and have continually thought about the mountains. I wish I was able to make the trip with you guys but as I said I collided with fate here, I needed to be here.
Can’t wait to hear more from you guys and the progress.

Just a question, is this the group with an Aussie by the name of Nick Coleman? Was hoping to keep tabs on his progress. Thank you

Hi guys!! Being down in the crevasse sounds amazing!! I’m sad to miss that bit… I’m excited to get up there and join Brandi and Gilbert. I can’t wait to hear about the Kahiltna. Sheena just did a video report about McKinley for the class; not much personality came through until she talked about the farting that goes on at altitude. I’m sure there’s none of THAT going on. xooxoxoxoxo see you soon in gorgeous Alaska!! elizabitch. ps. great updates, Jason. Thanks!

Hello again everyone.
What an amazing day we had here today in the Khumbu. It started off with views of Everest right out our dining room window at breakfast.
We then hit the trail and headed uphill to old Pangboche to visit a friend and climbing legend Ang Kami Sherpa. As we sat and had tea with him and his wife, we learned he has 18 Everest summits, and has also climbed K2, Cho Oyu, Dhaulagiri, Shishapangma, Manaslu, Makalu, Ama Dablam 16 or more times, on over 45 Himalayan expeditions. Obviously, we were all totally impressed, especially by his humble demeanor. It was an honor to share time with him for all of us.
If that wasn’t enough, we visited the Pangboche monastery built in the 16th century and home to a supposed Yeti skull and hand. If you believe in that sort of thing, it was shocking to see, although we have a few doubters in our group.
We then slowly made our way uphill while walking right under Ama Dablam shining above us the whole way. Ama is considered the “Matterhorn of the Himalayas” and is a proud step climb at 22,500ft. Although small by Himalayan standards, she (Ama means mother) is often considered more difficult than many of the other 8,000 meter peaks.
The team is currently relaxing in Pheriche sitting around the yak dung burning stove warming our bones.
RMI Guide Casey Grom and the trekking crew!

Our climb yesterday earned us a well deserved rest day. After sleeping in we were awoken to some delicious extra cheesy breakfast burritos. This was followed by a musical production of “These Boots Were Made For Climbing” by the soon to be famous Denali 10 (look for us on TikTok). Stay tuned for our upcoming show “Dancing on Denali”, which will include some tasteful nude scenes as well. The rest of our day was spent relaxing as we look forward to beginning our summit push either tomorrow or Friday.
