General Secretary and not long ago he was nearly elected President. Ang Karma has written several guide books on local Kathmandu climbing and is ever busy with one project or another. His English is probably better than ours is and he is a very fun person to spend time with. We can't think of a better person to shepherd us through the logistical requirements of putting together an expedition to an 8000-meter peak. We are looking for 5 or 6 climbers to join us.
Aerobic fitness is key.
We all measure our level of fitness in different ways and it is sometimes difficult to compare. You should be in good general health. You need to have a good deal of patience to deal with the inevitable setbacks that come with a trip as long as this one. Over the years we have found that a patient attitude consistently brings the best rate of summit success. In addition to helping with group related tasks, we recognize the need for individual space and the need for personal conservation of strength and energies.
