Base Camp
Hello friends, family and loved ones,

Vern Tejas reporting for ‘Team Purple”. We are finally on our way with the combined Blue and Red teams moving up the mountain early tomorrow morning. Everyone is excited. We had a running question and answer session over dinner trying to fill in all of the blanks for the climbing members. JJ gave a great confidence building talk which was well received and merited a long ovation. The team is psyched, acclimatized and raring to climb. We’ll ascend to camp two tomorrow where we will rest and wait for the right weather. Please join us for our ascent of Everest right here on this station.

Namaste.
Vern
