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


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.
