Philippine team to Everest
RP Mt. Everest team passes test in New Zealand, India
The first Philippine Mt. Everest Expedition team, which is seeking to scale the highest mountain in the world two years from now, made good progress in a training trip in the rugged peaks of New Zealand recently. Adhering to North Face mountaineering gear’s global campaign "Never Stop Exploring," the team, composed of mountaineers, athletes and adventurers, conducted a 10-day preparatory climb on Mt. Cook National Park. What is impressive about the team is that it has three female members. Aside from acquiring knowledge in effective anchoring system, rope techniques and creating snow caves, the team also learned to scale Mt. Cook with very minimal equipment, which augurs well for a squad that has no alpine experience.
Way to go guys.... one big leap ...
