Expedition To Do List | The Team | Expedition Schedule

Equipment
Even if you're in top physical and mental condition and an experienced high altitude climber, tackling Everest takes an incredible amount of planning. The most basic challenge is surviving above 17,000 feet. (It's also nice to be as comfortable as possible). That's why Ben and Nancy are taking along all of this, and more!
