jk,
always a general worry, but no one should let it effect their Everest plans. of course, always check the latest reports
last year, just a month before the Everest season, the King had shut down the Kathmandu airport, and jammed all phone lines, including cell phones. no communication in or out. I was a little worried but still went with my plans. well, it was resolved in a couple weeks or so.
then, of course, we had the rebels call the transportation strike about April 1, but even that passed.
when i climbed Kili, the us govt. put out a travel advisory again travel in Kenya. well, I went anyway, and had a great time. but i will say, my friend and i were the only Americans on the mountain.
