Good to hear from you . All is well - Tashi Tenzing expeditions party is 2 person only - Ms Klara Polackova - she is climbing with me or I am guiding her this time to fulfil her dreams of Everest - She climbed Cho Oyu with me last year and she is ready to hit Everest . I am going for the last time to climb my beloved Chomolungma from the Tibet side and its important to me as my family and my sherpa community started their climbing career and today there the sherpas are the masters of Everest . And not the least this climb is dedicated to the Nepalese people that we have peace and stability and may the people of nepal enjoy the prosperity and good future in the new govt. After so many years of un rest.

We leave for Lhasa tomorrow and will be spending about 6 days to acclimatised and then will be in base camp around 14 April and will start climbing from ABC about the 26 of April .

Will keep up posted from Lhasa. Tashi

Tashi was born in Darjeeling, India on 30 November, 1965 - youngest son of Pem Pem who is Tenzing Norgay's eldest daughter. Tenzing, with Sir Edmund Hillary, made the first ascent of Everest on 29th May 1953. Tashi's mother is also a climber. She was a member of the 1959 International Women's Expedition to Cho Oyu, in Nepal - the 7th highest mountain in the world - an expedition which ended tragically in the death of two climbers.
