This colorful, and intriguing presentation features Ms. Samantha "Squash" Falconer, the famous motorcyclist, parachutist, and Everest summiter, along with Dan Mazur, 9 time Everest leader and rescuer of Lincoln Hall, world famous climber "Left for Dead" at the summit of Everest. The story was featured on NBC Good Morning America and Dateline with Matt Lauer. We encourage you, family, friends, and colleagues to join the team for our live and in-person slide video show. It's going to be an inspirational, fun, and very sociable event where you can meet like-minded folk, share stories and converse with the leaders and members of SummitClimb, SummitTrek, and the MEFSD before we head off to climb Mt. Everest again this spring. Back to Top

NEW SHERPA TRAINING SCHOOL: This is a new all-volunteer program with the Mount Everest Foundation for Sustainable Development (MEFSD), www.SherpaClimbingSchool.org , so please get involved and tell all of your friends. We need new and lightly used good-quality climbing and walking equipment, clothing and shoes, as well as funds for transport and building expense. The MEFSD is building a new school for training 30 aspiring young sherpas, both men and women. Safety, technique, communication, education, health, environmental, cultural preservation and economic opportunities are the goals for this new training course so we can help local people in Nepal to earn a good living from sustainable tourism in their beautiful country for many years to come.
