Everest 2009: The Logistics of Everest

Kraig Becker has posted an excellent article on the travel blog Gadling.com today about “The Logistics of Everest.”  Simply put, before someone steps foot in Tibet or Nepal for their Everest expedition, many factors have to be dealt with first.  Kraig talks about the price of Everest, the two months needed for an expedition, different route considerations, and then what to expect once you are actually on the mountain.  It is a nice overview of what will be taking place with the teams over the next couple of months as the Everest climbing season progresses.  Nice work, Kraig.  I highly recommend you guys to read his article.

Once you are done at Gadling.com, be sure to check in on Kraig’s personal blog (and one of my favorites) The Adventure Blog.  Gadling.com has been added to the blogroll.
