    Everest 2008 - The Adventurist - Mt. Everest to The Poles: Exploring Adventure One Trip At a Time

    Everest 2008

    Much as I did last year, I will be covering the 2008 Mt. Everest Spring Climb. All articles and posts I make concerning this event will be found here and updated daily beginning April 1st. Many of my readers are interested in Mt. Everest. It seems to be one of the few mountains that has no boundaries. Interest lies with the climbers, the teams, and even the reader’s at home. It’s fascination encompasses the world and in May the media directs us to the next season on Everest. Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoy the articles. Anything concerning Mt. Everest, the teams, the individuals ect. will be found here as I post them.

    If you are an expedition company, guide, or a climber going to Everest next season, drop me an email. The Adventurist is one of the top sites in the world for this information. I can offer interviews and publicity for your climb or company, as well as dispatch updates. You may contact me at theadventurist@cliffhanger.com for more information.
