Mountaineer, Charity Fundraiser and Public Speaker
This is it…
So we made it to ABC ok which was the first checkpoint on this summit attempt. The aim was to spend two rest days here before heading up but this plan has changed.
There is a storm brewing over the Bay of Bengal which will apparently hit Everest on the 24th May (our intended summit day) so instead we are heading up to the North Col tomorrow and aiming to summit on the 23rd May.
This has been a long and very challending expedition but it looks like the end is in sight. I will, of course, do my very best to realise my dream.
Thank you for all your support.

Hi Geordie
You dont know me but I am following all of your progress back in the UK. My sister Kelly is married to Stu (for her sins) so I have been watching all of the updates on the various sites intently.
Anyway – just wanted to say good luck to you and all of the team for your summit attempt.
Take care x

Your graandmother Jean would be proud, not only of your climbs but of your writing ability. She wrote so well and we had good times together when she visited Montreal, especially catching up on family lore.
