- Welcome to Part 2 of Everyday Everest, my new Podcast series during the Everest 2024 climbing season. I'll continue my annual coverage as usual.
Based on my 2020 Virtual Everest series, I'll have a twenty-minute updated episode of the story a few times a week for the next two months. Everyday Everest follows a fictional team of nine climbers and their personal Sherpas from leaving home to trekking to base camp, acclimatizing, and finally, on their summit push, returning home.
In Part 2, our protagonist, Harper, looked at the Boudhanath stupa with admiration. The 2015 earthquake damaged the stupa, but you would never know that now. She looked at the eyes of Buddha and remembered the saying, "Buddha is always watching." Somehow, she found that comforting.
The main characters are
Harper - protagonist, strong climber, Aconcagua, Denali (Husband -Marc, Daughter - Olivia, Son - Jay)
Dutch - solid climber, quirky
Tony - solid climber, introvert, impatient
Michael - Good experience, Manaslu, good friend
Jim - Second Everest attempt, not strong
Aaron - good climber, strong friend
Bart - good climber, strong friend
Pablo - weak mentally, Aconcagua, Denali
Claudia - strong climber, Aconcagua, Denali
Guide John Paul - highly experienced, patient, good leader
Sidar and Guide - Dawa Sherpa
Guide - Gyalzen Sherpa
Guide - Tenzing Sherpa
.
Now, Part 2, "Kathmandu"
Climb On!

Lot of details to spice up the story. Thank you. When is new chapter comminng up?
Thanks. Part 3 Friday or Saturday
I’m loving the story! One request though: could you perhaps read a little more slowly?
I'll give it a go!
What are the food options if someone is trekking to EBC?
Mostly whatever you want but it's typical Nepali food in the teahouses- Dal Baht, lentils, yak sizzler, eggs, etc.
Great! Would I be able to prepare my own food? Or cook with the Nepali people in Lukla?
It all depends on who you go with. It's pretty rare to cook your food, though, unless you are camping.
