Good morning Mountain Zone, this is Vern Tejas with Alpine Ascents Mount Everest Climb 2000. [Unintelligible] how do you eat an elephant? The same way you do most anything — bite by bite. How do you climb Mount Everest? One step at a time.

And one step at a time it was today as we climbed from Camp II to Camp III up the Lhotse Face. We're perched now at Camp III, halfway up the Lhotse Face in a most scenic, most grandeur-ious location. We're looking down upon the Western Cwm and we can see half of the Himalaya spreading out beneath us. Wow, what an event. We're currently 7 kilometers above sea level...[transmission fails].
