When football season is over, the sport I follow is Mount Everest climbing. It shouldn’t be too long before I get to Nepal, but until then I follow Alan Arnette’s blog about the Everest climbing season.

So far, Alan has completed the Trek to EBC (Everest Base Camp) and started acclimating to the extreme altitude. Tomorrow his group climbs to camp 1 and 2 for two days of acclimating their bodies at higher elevations. Then, they’ll climb back down to EBC for a few days, and then climb back up.

They do this until their bodies can handle the even more extreme altitudes of the top of the mountains. And then they push for the summit.
