Apa on the Top of Mt. Everest for the 19th time.
May 21 2009, 09:30 am
I just got off the radio with Apa. He has just broken his own world record to stand on the top of Mt. Everest for the 19th time.
Over the crackling radio, in a breathless voice he told me: "I am at the top and am looking at all the prayer flags...I have just satisfied the deities and placed the Bhumpa on the summit...I am the last of our group to get to the top today as I was delayed at the Hillary Step because there are so many people here. I arrived here at 8am and have been here for 30 minutes... Its very cold so I am now heading down." He told us that he has been taking pictures at the top.
Pertemba and I congratualted him and wished him a safe climb back down.
