I made it

Yes, that is me at Mount Everest, we had the same beautiful weather our whole trip. Deb refused to do the whole climb, so we took the buss up with our guide. Once the buss lets you off, you still have a short steep climb for a clear view of the mountain - it really is spectacular. Later Deb took the buss down, while Samdun and I hiked back to the camp which is about 4 miles.

In the second photo you can clearly see the row of orange pup tents which is the base camp for those actually climbing Everest.
