Kari Kobler's Mount Everest 2002 Expedition
Kari Kobler

Sagarmatha, Chomolungma, Mount Everest: Many paths lead to the summit of Mount Everest: Till today climbers from 41 nations reached the top on twelve different routes. Often with only one aim - to beat the other climbers in one way or another; without oxygen, all alone, in shortest time ever, etc..

In our case, the goal is simply to reach the summit somehow and to undertake this adventure without any high performance ambitions, on our own terms and our own individual style. 

Karl has already arrived in Katmandu to meet and arrange everything with our co-worker Dorjee Sherpa to take care of the final preparations

Report: During the above time period there is constant reporting from the Swiss Sagarmatha Expedition 2002. The news will be written in base camp on a laptop computer, the digital camera delivers pictures that are being transferred to the laptop and attached to the news mail. Bern, March 28, 2002
