Everest Expedition 2006
top shots

We ran two expeditions, the Everest Peace Expedition (EPP) sponsored by Panasonic Toughbooks which Jamie was the climbing director and also the Project Himalaya expedition which Jamie also assisted with.

We had plenty of success with six out of eight of the EPP team summitting, together with five sherpas. On the PH expedition six climbers out of thirteen summitted and eight sherpas summitted, although more were certainly capable.

See the expedition dispatches for a full account and many more photos.

Yep, altitude has that effect - when you first arrive for a few days you have to pee lots and lots - Jamie
