Preparations

Some people ask me whether I’ve been climbing before trying Everest or whether I have to do any training!  The answer of course is that I’ve had quite a lot of mountaineering experience (as would anyone before attempting a mountain like Everest), and training and preparations in general have formed a huge part of my life for a long time now.

Before our Everest climb last year, Fiona and I trained pretty solidly for 2 years, with the last 6 months of that being full-time.  So I’ve now been in training for this for 3 years.

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.
