MERA PEAK
VERY HIGH AND VERY COLD
The trek will start from Lukla (9100ft), where all Nepalise climbs start, Everest included.
We move on to Pangom and then on to Pangum La (10,400ft) over the next two days.
Over the next four days we disappear from the usual trekking routes and ascend to Chunbu Kharka (13,700ft) and on to Tagnag (14,400ft).
On day 11 at Tagnag we have an acclimatization day and to check we haven't left anything at home!
From day 12 to day 16 we attempt the summit from a high base camp at 18,500ft leaving at 2am reaching the summit (21,100ft) mid morning and then descend back to the high base camp for a nice cup of tea.
100% OF ALL DONATIONS GO TO MOTOR NEURONE DISEASE ASSOCIATION
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a disease that creeps up on people with small unnoticeable symptoms like a weak grip or a general feeling of tiredness. Eventually the person may be unable to walk, talk, laugh, swallow or even breathe and sufferers generally die within five years of diagnosis. The worst thing is that the person remains completely compus mentus during the whole time! Imagine that yourself, not being able to laugh out loud or tell someone you love them!
