on 3/21/2009 Sagarmatha is the Nepalese/Nepali name for Mount Everest and people should call it by original name. Sagarmatha means "summit over the sky".

on 1/5/2009 For a great first-person account of climbing up Everest, check out this site by Lorenzo Gariano, a mountaineer from Italy who blogged throughout his climb of Everest, with photos and podcasts in English and Italian. His website also has useful information such as a list of equipment etc. He has also blogged about his summits of Vinson Massif and Carstensz Pyramid.

on 6/30/2006 With the news of David Sharp's death fresh on the minds of us all, let us please remember that Everest is still a very deadly place. Have it decided in your mind before you trek up the mountain your decision for helping your fellow climbers, even if it risks not making the summit. Remember that the life saved could be your own, if others have also decided that saving a life is in their minds as well! Just days after Sharp's death another climber was declared dead on the mountain and left to die, only to come back from the dead after another climber helped him down to safety. Just because we are on the top of the world, does not mean we leave our humanity at the base!
