Hello all you (armchair) Mountaineers!

 

As you know we do not send out many newsletters. But there is so much news to share!

Therefore this letter is filled to the max and in a few days I will send another one with news about the new Aconcagua book & Everest 2006 and much more!

 

In this issue:

- Carstensz Pyramid is open! 7summits again cheapest option.

- Last call for Vinson 2005/2006. Almost full, 7summits.com again cheapest

+ Carstensz Pyramid is open again!

 

After years of being closed for all climbers there is opportunity to climb the 7th summit again. Prices have gone up a lot as now a long helicopter approach is needed to get to the base of the mountain. All large operators ask $18,000 or more, but not 7summits.com. Join us for $12,500 for exactly the same trip!

 

Dates:

September 12
October 10 & 24
November 14
December 12

+ 5 page article in Dutch Panorama Magazine week 35.

For all you readers living in the Netherlands, in this week's Panorama magazine is a 5 page article about my summit on Everest and the dramatic events surrounding it. It is in Dutch so some of you might want to buy it for the pictures only. It will be in the shops until Wednesday Aug 31st, so be quick..

The story is a shortened version of my diaries as they have appeared on
this forum, if you have read the magazine and want the full story, please read all these posts.
The magazine is in the stores until the 31st, so get it while you can and let me know what you thought of it here. You can see a picture (small as well as enlarged) of the cover of the magazine and my unedited 1 minute summit movie on
their website.
