RECORD YEAR ON EVEREST

Apparently this is going to be a record year on Everest. There have been, literally, hundreds of summiters on the big mountain between from around May 9 to today. It seems as if every nationality in the world put somebody on top and there were the usual “firsts.” Apparently deaths are holding at seven so far. For MUCH more detail, go to EVEREST.COM .

Looks as if the monsoon still hasn't hit, and that may explain all the summits. But the season ain't over yet.
