Project finished!

The Everest season comes to an end... A new record has been set, with more than 300 climbers reaching the summit. The high camps are being packed and cleaned (hopefully) and everyone's returning to bc and Kathmandu.

Our project comes to an end, too. It's been interesting. We've had many discussions, supportive comments, disagreements and even total ignorance. For us, it's been a small success, definately a great first project. We have learned that most people, especially western climbers, are aware of the changing climate and at least some of the obvious threats. There's a difference between awareness and change of behaviour, though, so who knows...

Anyway, as promised, we brought down our 'garbage' and it's ready to use at Cho Oyu in autumn.

We thank everybody for their input and help! To be continued...
