Friday, April 3, 1998 — Namche (11,300')
Hi everybody at the Mountain Zone, it's Todd. The phone has been dead for a few days.
We went up to the top of the Namche hill and we were able to see Ama Dablam, Everest, Lhotse, Cholatse, all the mountains, just beautiful. The Sherpa museum was great. Lots of Sherpas. [editor's note: for those not listening to the audio, at this last part, Burleson and whoever is nearby, crack up like it's the funniest thing they've ever heard. Consider this a warning on the potentially debilitating effects of even moderate altitude gain...]
— Todd Burleson, Leader of the Alpine Ascents International Trek
