Postcards from the Edge
May 9, 2008
Seems Andrew Brash is encountering some surreal moments on this expedition. Below is an excerpt from his May 6, 2008 dispatch …
Yes, as if any year on Everest wasn’t weird, I’ve had to make special mention that this year really is peculiar. Guns, army, ambassadors, foreign secretaries…admittedly there hasn’t been much else to do but read while we wait for a certain group of people to summit this mountain on a certain route, carrying a certain piece of flaming hardware to the top. A tall order they’ve given themselves, let’s face it, and it’s the reason we’re now waiting the strangeness out in the teahouse village of Dingboche. I have to say though, that I’m glad I’m here giving this a go and not sitting on the sidelines at home. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, as they say.
You can read the rest of this and other dispatches as he climbs to the summit.
