Vinson – Team HBM

Hello and Namaste Everyone,

It’s a pleasure to announce that the Alpine Ascents Private Mt Vinson climb in Antarctica has officially begun. This is a private expedition for Hari Buda Magar who is a double above knee amputee and we also have another regular climb at the same time. We will be paralleling most of the time but I will be sending update and progress for my private climb.

The Team HBM, which stands for Hari Buda Magar has already arrived in Punta Arenas with all of our gears and equipment for the climb. All of our food shopping, packing and preparation are all taken care of and we did our gear check as well. We will have all of Alpine Ascents Mt Vinson team arrived by tomorrow and we will have welcome dinner with everyone tomorrow night.

The team is psyched and ready to take another leg, flying in to the Ice Continent. We have couple more days here in Punta Arenas before we all fly to Antarctica.

Thanks in advance for following us along and send us some positive energy and luck for this expedition because this is something very especial where a person with double above knee amputee is pushing limit to create a history by completing his Conquering Dreams-7 Summits, and I am grateful to be leading his expedition for the second time.
