The north-side of Everest was the most beautiul climb I've ever come across in my entire climbing life. The history and the route we took to climb on it makes it more appealing for a climber like me to be there. Even though we did not make it to the top, the experience was worth it. I have learnt a lot... about the mountain, the weather, coping with altitude (health), alot more about people, and myself. After almost 3 months with Gil, I also got to know more about Brazil. It is certainly more than just Pele or Senna. There is that green stuff that Gil drinks, mate... It's a cultural exchange between us, Singaporeans and one Brazilian. We also found out that we can survive at an altitude of 7,800m without bottled oxygen. Hopefully the next generation of climbers from Singapore would stretch the limits without bottled oxygen, maybe above 8000 meters. Now that we are back home we have a lot of catching up to do... and lots of good food to eat. Personally, I would like to thank to all our sponsors, supporters and well-wishers for making this climb the most memorable one. Till the next climb. Over and out. Mohd Rozani.
