An Update from Everest

From the Fly From Everest: End Polio Now expedition team

 On the 18th of April, after three years of planning, the whole Fly from Everest: End Polio Now team, alongside their guides from Himalayan Ascent, have reached Everest Base Camp. 

"We are now at Everest Base Camp and settled in to what some would consider a fairly luxurious camp situation, especially when compared to previous mountaineering trips. The comfort provided by Himalayan Ascent is quite remarkable including private tents, a full commercial kitchen, heated; meeting, reading and relaxing tent, which is fully carpeted."

"A few headaches from altitude, a lot of tiredness but a feeling of “we are finally here” was the general perception amongst the team." Mont is proud to have kitted out Ken and his team with technical clothing and Julbo Eyewear, ensuring that they are protected from the elements on their world-first attempt.
