| We arrived in Camp 1/Base Camp (BC-17,056 ft.) on 18 April with dark grey skies above along with falling snow being whipped up by strong wind gusts, and without having yet seen Mount Everest. However, during the evening of our second day in BC the weather started to change. Although I had no knowledge of the local weather forecast, I climbed the snow-covered ridge above camp in hopes of sighting Everest if the system was on its way out. It was.
I watched in awe as the clouds cleared, revealing a monstrous and breathtaking scene: 29,035 ft. Mt. Everest covered with a fresh layer of snow and with a snow plume stretching out for possibly a mile whirling off its summit. The brawl of the wind and snow had given way to a breathless, exhausted peace. To quote Edward Abbey, the mountain glittered under the sun with that harsh perfection characteristic of God’s early work. That single moment has already made this expedition a complete success for me. All the rest will just be icing on the cake. |

| Dave Lien`s "tribute" to the Class of 1986 (per the request of your webmaster). This photo was taken on the North side of Mount Everest - Camp 4 at 23,000 feet. Thanks Dave!! |

| Photo taken from Mount Everest camp 5 of the camp 4 where the previous photo of Dave was taken at. Anyone have any ideas for Dave to help him find a more precarious camping site on his next vacation?!?! If you look closely in the lower right-hand corner, you can see people trekking up the side of the mountain!! |
