As our departure date is almost here, I'm getting excited to be heading back to Nepal.  Last year was definitely a disappointment to come so close and not make it to the top, but in the words of Nelson Mandela "I never lose.  I either win or learn."  We have a great team and are set up for a great expedition.  I feel super lucky to be part of our expedition team and to be able to climb this mountain with such a great group of people.   Here's to a safe, successful climb!
