Very exciting news – Everest and Lhotse are now booked with Alpine Ascents for March 31st to May 31st 2012!! It’ll be the last of the Seven Summits, and will be my attempt at the world record to become the first female to summit two 8000m peaks in under 24 hours. So exciting! After seeing so many pictures and hearing so many accounts of the famous Everest climb and its notorious ice fall etc. I can’t wait to get there and experience it all first hand.

From what I’ve heard our climb will probably be lead again by Garrett Madison, the lead guide on our Vinson climb, so it’ll be brilliant that we’ll have already climbed with him – it’s always nice to get to know those you’re going to trust your lives with!
