Mountain Network: Let us work together!

Greetings to you, fellow member of the mountain and outdoor community.

You are receiving this email because you are involved with a mountain club, shop, outdoor programme, rock gym, tour expedition operator, ski / snowboard shop, outdoor manufacturer, etcetera.

Would you like to earn extra cash for yourself and your organization, increase membership and customers, meet like-minded folks and make new friends?

Let's work together. We are the SummitClimb / SummitTrek / Everest Foundation Family. We form a strong alliance of men and women of all ages and abilities who are climbers, walkers, and mountain charity non-profit supporters. Welcome to our team.

How was your February? What have you been doing? Here on the southwest coast of England and the Pacific coast of North America, we ride out a swirling storm. High winds rattle windows, rain pelts gravel beaches at low tide, and bobbing boats plough through salt spray into choppy waves. The rhythmic slap-slap tempo of windscreen wipers keeps time for us, whenever we venture out onto the sea in front of our small village. In the peaks above town, the snow keeps coming, and yesterday, the passes were well buried, making driving like ice skating. Skiing and snowshoeing / racquetting have been superb this week. Powdery snow keeps falling in showers, piling up on towering ridges and loading deep valleys. The frozen glaciers in the peaks are becoming larger this week. Earlier in the month, we explored snowy basins by ski and snowshoe / racquette, and climbed icy glacier walls with ice axe, crampons, rope and harness. It was exhilarating and exciting. The way things have been going lately, it seems winter will be with us a little while longer. Back to top

My name is Dan Mazur and I work for SummitTrek and SummitClimb, now in their 22nd year. In 2012 I led a group of successful men and women climbers of all ages to the summit of Everest. Everyone reached the top and our team was fortunate to be very safe. I also walked with a group of trekkers to Everest basecamp. Additionally, I taught climbing and Everest training in Nepal, Tibet and also in "small" glaciated mountains in Europe and North America. While helping climbers and trekkers pursue their goals, this year I also helped support and work together with indigenous local poor families living near Mt Everest via the Mount Everest Foundation for Sustainable Development (MEFSD).
 
I am waiting to speak to you on +44 (0)7810375400 in the UK, and 1-360-570-0715 in the USA, Skype: dan.mazur8848 , email: DanielMazur@SummitClimb.com ,  www.FaceBook.com/DanielLeeMazur , www.twitter.com/@DanielMazur , www.Linkedin.com/in/daniellmazur .

GIVING BACK TO THE MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY: We have just returned from leading our new FREE of cost, no charge winter climbing school last week, where together with a fun group of men and women of all ages, we learned about ice and snow, winter climbing, camping, avalanche safety and winter rescue techniques. A fun time was had by all preparing for the spring climbing season on Everest as we conducted technical training and had fun in the snow. Please go to www.WinterClimbingSchool.org to see recent images, video clips and descriptions of our experience.

In 2012, we built a new wing on a 400 student high school with new classrooms, a library, and computer room. We also put new floors, walls and windows in a health centre responsible for 4000 people in a very remote district. On Everest we are also busily working with a team of engineers to design a new biogas project to treat the waste from Everest Basecamp and produce sustainable cooking gas and useful farm fertilizer. This project will have a wide ranging impact not just in the Khumbu Valley, but in high altitude mountain environments everywhere. Please let us know how you would like to become part of the team! If you feel the need to get your hands dirty and help, dig in with our twice yearly www.RemoteNepalServiceWalk.org . This trek is for everyone who wants to go to a gorgeous remote hilly farming region near Everest and deliver educational and medical supplies, and help out the villagers as we work on environmental, cultural, social and village projects together. Current programmes include our www.SherpaTrainingSchool.com , which needs your new and lightly used climbing equipment, boots, clothing, and funds for operating expense. We are very active in charitable projects in the Everest region at: www.EverestBaseCampServiceTrek.org , in treating the waste from Everest Basecamp: www.MtEverestBiogasProject.org , and in rebuilding Nepal's oldest convent (1925) with 18 nuns in residence: www.DebocheConvent.org .

In honour of the 60th ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST ASCENT OF MOUNT EVEREST, on 5, 6, 7, and 12 March, we present a colourful and intriguing 1 hour LIVE MULTI-MEDIA SHOW to women and men and kids of all ages, featuring Ms. "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 BBC Television, in the London Times, 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 Mount Everest Foundation for Sustainable Development before we head off to climb Mt. Everest again this spring.
