Friends, Family & Loved Ones,

Namaste and Welcome to our coverage of the Alpine Ascents Spring 2017 Everest Base Camp Trek and Island Peak Climb. We are Carole and Vern Tejas, your guides, and we are really looking forward to kicking off the expedition. The team members have been arriving in Kathmandu over the last few days, and at this point everyone is here and ensconced at the historic Yak & Yeti Hotel. Tomorrow is when things officially get started and so we’ll report back to you then and hopefully include some photos of the Team in action.

Stay tuned and thanks for following our adventure,

Carole & Vern Tejas
