Beyond The Summit


I am the place where the temperature is often very cold. I am the place with only three colors black of rock white of snow, blue of sky, and where the air is uncomfortably thin… I am the place where life, ALL LIFE, is very fragile. I am the mountain so high that no bird can fly over me although many have tried. To the Tibetans, I am Chomolungma goddess mother of earth. To the Nepalese I am Sagarmatha goddess mother of the sky. And to the rest of the world, I am Mt. Everest.
To join the Inventa Everest 2000 Environmental Expedition. They will team up with the largest contingent of Sherpas ever assembled for a clean-up operation. Their goal is to unburden Mt. Everest of over 40 years of expedition garbage and to summit the world’s highest peak.
