Everest Tibet 2007

In 2007, I joined a small (4 climbers, 3 Sherpas and 2 cooks, $16k), unknown, unguided, American team on Everest's north side, Tibet, was healthy throughout the expedition and came within 800 vertical feet of the summit before turning around on a beautiful sunny day. Sadly, Konyi, a Hungarian climber with whom we shared Base Camp and ABC services, died while climbing to the north col on Everest in 2010 when a serac fell and swept him down the mountain.
