The attempt at Nupste East turned into a severe indoctrination into vertical ice climbing and major lead climbing team work. Karen was following…which is a grip of work to manage 2 ropes, and many anchors to retrieve. It’s complicated and a bit intense. All the while, we are in the area of 23,000′, with heartrate through the ceiling and stress at a high level. All this is NOTHING like what it will be like going up Everest with Jordan…as he/we will be going up ONE fixed line/route up a well protected route….comparatively speaking. So, the stories and photos that will follow do not reflect well onto what Jordan does and will be climbing now and in the future.
Check photo link in coming days.
Taking applications now for ’10 Team Jordan Romero Everest Expedition.
Paula- got ya on the earings, done deal;)
About Nepal….if more of the world were Buddhist, we’d have a lot more peace. There people are incredible.
P with fever at Base Camp

The Romero Clan wants to know ALL about what happened up there. This could be a movie. When Jordan climbs Nupste, it most likely will become a movie.
We’re so proud of you both!
Love & Hugs,
Gloria
The news today speaks about political unrest in Napal.You guys don’t have a dog in this fight so stay cool.
Hopefully you have some rest and food in your belly by now. I wait for pics
Love,
Dad Romero
Following your blogs and wow…what a journey it sounds like! Been thinking about you two and can’t wait to hear stories! I, too, would like to try this “Himalayan Diet”
Team Sole Expedition team? IS this to handle logistics & base camp or possible summit attempt? Just curious……
I’ll be back in So Cal very soon, would love to hook up with you guys.
Namaste P&K,
I am so happy to know you are safely back in Kathmandu! Great adventures and cannot wait to hear all details and see all pictures! Crevaces video is AMAZING and i’m sure it does not make justice to the reality of the place.
Eat plenty, relax and see you soon back home soon.
Omar, Mine, Mom, Sebi and Cati have been asking for you. We are all so PROUD of you!
Big hug from Ensenada!
