October 24, 2017 The clouds parted and the helicopters came in to pick up our Mera Peak Team today.  The Team is in Lukla for the night, in thicker air.  Kevin called to check in and let us know that the Team is “celebrating their success.” The word from Lukla is that the Team is […]

October 20th, 2017   The Mera Peak Team checked in from Khare again today.  I got a little ahead of myself and the Team yesterday when I noted they were moving up to Mera La.  The Team had an active rest day in Khare where they trained for the climb to Mera La (5300m/17,388ft) and […]
