Janet Belarmino, Carina Dayondon and Noelle Wenceslao. Good Luck and Make us Proud!
After so much controversy (which I won’t discuss anymore), I’m glad that the three filipina mountain climbers are now at Everest Base Camp in Tibet! They will be climbing the Tibetan / North Side of Everest which is cheaper by more than half versus climbing the Nepal side. This side is more dangerous so lets pray for their safe climb! They should be climbing Everest in May and they are now training in the The Summit Of Gokyo Ri.
” Early last week, the team climbed a 5,000+ meter peak in the Everest Region called Gokyo Ri. This was a training climb to allow the womens’ bodies to get used to the thin air at high altitude. According to the team physician, Dr. Ted Esguerra, the women performed extremely well. While in an e-mail, team member Noelle Wenceslao said the climb up Gokyo Ri boosted their morale, as the perfect weather enabled them to see Mt. Everest in its full glory.” (pinaysoneverest.blogspot.com— official Pinays on Everest blog)

I’ll be monitoring their progress and give them support in my own little way.
