Before starting his climb, our man on Everest participated in a Puja ceremony conducted by Seven Summit Treks
The Puja ceremony is a significant spiritual and cultural event for Sherpas and climbers. It is at this ceremony that Sherpas and climbers ask the gods for permission to…

Our man on Mt. Everest is in high spirits. He is currently climbing up to the higher camps. Over the next 4 days, he will sleep at camp 2 at 6400m and camp 3 at 7,200m. He is likely going to 'touch' camp 4 at 7,950m before descending back to Basecamp. This process will allow the…

Earlier today, our man on Mt. Everest explored a bit of the Khumbu Icefall. This is the most dangerous part of Mt. Everest in terms of objective risks. Overhanging seracs (blocks of ice) that can collapse without warning, crevasses and the shifting glacier. In fact, it is…

Yesterday, Cheruiyot arrived at Mt. Everest's South basecamp at an altitude of 5,365m. Every season, a temporary 'town' is set at the foot of Mt. Everest. It is from here the actual climbing starts. Currently 'Icefall Doctors' are busy opening the route and fixing ropes towards…

DEATH ZONE: Altitude above 8000m. There is no sufficient oxygen concentration and atmospheric pressure to sustain human life. That's why most mountaineers use supplemental oxygen above this altitude. In fact most use it after 7500m because above this altitude, the body cannot…

So who is this guy, Cheruiyot Kirui? The Kenyan attempting to summit Everest without supplemental oxygen this season? Some say he is a full recreational Ultra and mountain/trail runner and a part time banker. But briefly...
Mountains:

Cheruiyot is currently trekking towards Everest Basecamp for a climb of his life. Everest summit attempt without supplemental oxygen. He is currently just past Namche Bazaar. It's impossible to overstate the magnitude of what he is undertaking. Climbing Everest is tough. Climbing…

The Everest season is underway!! There is a certain brave Kenyan, one Cheruiyot, who is enroute the mountain to attempt a summit of Mt. Everest WITHOUT the use of supplemental oxygen. This is a HUUUGE undertaking by any standards. A climb of a lifetime. Only 2% of all Everest…

I had been to the RWENZORI trails once before, June 2018. 6 days on the mountain.
However, this time was different. We showed up for a speed climb. The first climb in our '5 East African summits in 7 days' challenge. This would be the most challenging climb logistically, and…

This was my first time climbing Mt. Meru (4,566M a.s.l). I did not give much thought to her or the challenge of exploring her. I thought she would be modest and kind. At least not arrogant. With the…

The Sunday Sermon:
Book of David (Goggins) “The most important conversations you’ll ever have are the ones you’ll have with yourself.” Hiking, climbing, running and outdoors allows one to have great conversations with self. #manaslu #8000ers #sundaysermon #climbthatmountain
