Between us as a team we have 4 summits of two different mountains. Unfortunately having the glory of standing on
the summit of Ama Dablam for a few minutes remains an outstanding goal for us
all. But the mountain will be waiting when
we’re ready to attempt it again. However
the months of hard training in the UK hills and endless logistical preparation before
the expedition and a month’s trekking in the Kumbu; meeting new people, eating
new foods and experiencing new cultures has been a right ball! It is these memories that stick with you more
than a few minutes stood about feeling cold, tired and slightly nervous for the
decent off a summit.
So now time it’s time to return to the reality… but not
before all the un-packing, seemingly endless piles of washing and attempting to
summit the mini mountain of letters and bills pushed through my front door over
the past month (which at the moment, is seeming like a harder task than any Himalayan
peak!).
What what’s next?
Christmas, New Year, the winter climbing season… Expedition wise, for John, it’s off to the Cirque
of the Unclimbables in the Northwest Territories of Canada to climb The Lotus
Flower Tower in August 2015 and Ros and Rem are talking of unclimbed peaks in Greenland. So there’s more on the horizon, watch this
space…. http://jmclimbing.blogspot.co.uk/
So to end the blog, we hope it’s been informative and thank
you for your interest and support in raising money for the two great charities,
on the last count, we have raised over £1,000! A great help.
