Lei Wang did it!

[J.Dub]

That's fantastic! I have been following her blog, but it's been a while since the last update and I wasn't sure what had happened since she seemed to be having health issues. Can't wait to hear the rest of the story!

Yeah, from some of her earlier blog posts it was starting to look iffy, but I'm glad things turned around for her.

Mazel Tov, Lei!

Around 250 people scaled Mount Everest from the south side this year, Nepal's mountaineering department said on Tuesday, as heavy snow brought the brief climbing season to an early close.

They said the weather on Everest had deteriorated since snow began falling on Sunday, ending a climbing season that has set a record for the youngest person ever to reach the top as well as the highest number of summits.

"We have come to the end of the Everest season," mountaineering department official Tilak Pandey told AFP by telephone from Everest Base Camp on the south side of the mountain, which straddles Nepal and China.

"The spring season can often go on until the end of May, but the weather has got worse since Sunday. As far as we know, there are no more teams left to climb this season."

Mountaineering blogs reported a rush for the summit over the weekend as expedition leaders tried to ensure as many climbers as possible made it to the top before the weather closed in.

An estimated 200 people reached the summit on Saturday, the busiest day...

Wow. 200 people on Saturday ! That's a lot of people on any summit.
