Photos from the Himalaya

One of the blogs I follow is the Adventure Blog by Kraig Becker. Kraig recently returned from a trek in the Himalayas and has posted a photo gallery that includes pictures from Kathmandu and his trek to Base Camp on Mt. Everest.

Speaking of Mt. Everest, 13-year-old Jordan Romero is on a 48 hour countdown - as of yesterday - to begin his attempt at summiting the highest mountain in the world. His team hopes to possibly make the summit on May 21 or 22nd.

And in keeping with the Everest theme, Stephen Regenold, author of the Gear Junkie, is posting a series of articles on his experience in Nepal last month as a journalist covering Expedition Hanesbrands from Base Camp at Mount Everest. His most recent article is a profile of Ang Temba Sherpa, a leader with Expedition Hanesbrands. Please click here to read the series.
