Almost Fatality at Lukla Airport Nepal 2010 [02:14]
After trekking in the Mt. Everest region in Nepal, I got stuck in Luckla for a couple days whicle the fog rolled in. When I went to catch my plane, this happened. Upon landing in Lukla, the plane lost breaking ability and skid into the concrete wall at the end of the runway. It took some time to clear the runway because they don't have tow vehicles at the airport. Pretty crazy scene.

Episode 164: Better Out Than In [39:48]
I've Been Trekkin' All Night, My Foot's Wet On The Hill. We had our first full day of trekking towards Everest's Kangshung Face today. When you begin a trek, the staff usually lulls you into a false sense of comfort by only making you walk a short distance to the first backcountry camp. This is precisely what happened on this trek. We only walked a half day yesterday and we all felt strong and like masters of the universe. This trekking stuff is easy! We'll be at Everest in no time! Well, it's amazing what a difference a day makes. We set off this morning confident as can be and all in great spirits. Christine had a rough night but was looking great and feeling much better as we set out on what was going to be a day full of hitting the wall, bonking and breakthroughs. We began early and walked through the head of the valley gaining altitude until we came to a very steep hill. The landscape here is very different than on the South Side. We're already much higher and the surrounding hills (I say hills but they're actually over 18000 feet/5000m) have very little vegetation and have a stark beauty to them. Another thing I was pleased to see were the abundance of large, high alpine lakes. There's water everywhere over here! We stopped at the bottom of the steep hill to take a deep breath before starting up. It was the path up to a high pass that needed to be summited in order to descend to tonight's camp. I hung back with Shakeel and Nicole and we could see other members of ...

Episode 162: Lazarus of Lhasa [35:46]
Welcome Back To The Land Of The Living! After lunch we headed back on the road for the last bit of driving towards our first campsite. The trekking portion of this trip is almost here!!! The Land Cruisers have been comfortable for the overland traveling towards Everest, but my feet are itching for some good hiking. We make a quick pit stop for some "bio breaks" this afternoon and as we walked back to our vehicles we noticed that there was an extra Land Cruiser parked amongst our caravan. As I was scratching my head, Lobsang walked over to me, pointed and simply said, "Damion!" I followed the direction of his outstretched arm and saw Damion standing against a wall, camera in hand, and though he was wearing a bandanna on his face I could sense that he didn't appear sick anymore. The team descended upon Damion and there was a joyful flurry of handshakes and hugs. We had all been so worried and concerned about him and now he was here and in great spirits. The reunion was short lived as we piled back into the vehicles for the last push to Camp 1. It was absolutely a great afternoon but it got even better. We pulled in to our camp site and those of us with previous Himalayan camping experience were astounded to see a trifecta of the best campsite attributes: a neighboring river and completely flat ground covered by soft grass. It was raining while we were setting up camp but there were obviously high winds aloft as they were pushing the rainclouds away with tremendous speed ...
