You're the man Bob. I wish you the best of luck on your journey and will be looking forward hearing your exciting story over the usual sushi and sake. How long will this adventure take from the minute you leave the states to the time you return?

Bob Lowry's Everest Attempt 2008 said...
I just bought my ticket to Kathmandu leaving March 21st and returning June 19th. This is a 3 month ticket which allows me to come back on any other flight in that time period as long as there is a seat. At the worst I will be guarnteed a seat on the 19th. The plan is to come off the mountain by June 1st. I am going 3 days early so I can get over the jet lag, and see Kathmandu.

Sounds awesome, Bob. So I caught that this is an unguided attempt - this means you go with just a couple of other mountaineers and then your required sherpa contingent, just no "guides" hauling your ass to the top, right?

Unguided Definition said...
The unguided climb is just using a Sherpa and not a Western Guide. Basically saving me anywhere from $25,000 Western Guide or $75,000 Ed Veisters. I will be with 7 other unguided folks so I imagine we will help each other.

Bob-o ... we need details man.
What's life like on the mountains? Landlubbers worry about bathrooms, trash removal et al ... how's that get handled at altitude and temperature?
What does one do all day during acclimitization?
What is the 'writing your name in the rum wall' stuff?
