    Thank you Paul for giving us a window into what it’s like to be near the top of the world – very special indeed! All the best with your bid for the summit tonight.

    I was curious as to whether you are taking a wind-on film camera to the summit this year? I recall Fi having some difficulties with her digital camera batteries on the summit last year, and was wondering whether an old-fashioned wind-on might alleviate this issue, or whether the film would freeze rendering it useless..

    I’ll forgive you if you don’t answer my question until your return to base-camp! :o)

    Cheers,

    Zoë (the human one)

    Unbelievable update Paul. Thanks for going to the trouble of sharing your experience with us all. It is really amazing what can be delivered. Will be thinking of you and Attila as you head off and up. Hope all calms down and all is OK. Phil M

    My candle will burn until you are safely back to Base Camp – and am asking the mountain to allow you and Attila to “top out”!

    Hi Paul,

    That was a really fantastic audio update. It is amazing to hear commentary from you as you progressed up to camp 4. I hope the wind lets you have your shot at Everest,

    Congrats Paul and Crew.

    You’ve (both) done something some people only dream about. Both of you must be so very proud.

    Thanks for the updates as well Fiona.

    I’d have a beer for you…but it’s 9am in London…I’ll wait a few hours.

Paul’s Everest Climb 2007

In 2007, Paul returned to climb Mt Everest after missing out on reaching the summit by 100 metres the previous year. In 2006, Paul and Fiona both climbed together and although Fiona successfully summited, problems with Paul's oxygen system forced him to turn around. On 23 May 2007, exactly a year to the day later, he reached the summit. This is the daily blog from this climb.
