Ascent Trip ReportEven though I had no real belief that I was going to climb Everest,I wanted to see how far I could actually go.Up to Namche Bazarre its actually a 7-8 day trek.We went up as a group from Semester at Sea Spring 1979.This was actually a highlight of my life actually getting this far.Was one of the best weeks of my life.And would love to be able to get back to Nepal one day
