AMC Auditorium, 4 Joy St, Boston MA
6:30 Potluck, 7:15 pm Slideshow
Mera Peak stands at 21,247 feet above sea level, as the tallest
"Trekking Peak," those peaks with little or no technical climbing
involved. This peak is in the Mount Everest region of Nepal. For 10
days in October of 2007, Phill Hunsberger and his team struggled
uphill with cold, damp tents and the effects of the altitude to arrive
at the summit. It took only 3 days to return to Lukla airport where
the trek started. This was a difficult camping trip, but with strong
sunshine, spectacular views and porters to carry our gear, the trip
was one of Phill's highlights.
Some of Phill's pictures can be seen here:
