Get a taste of life on Everest. Tune in for updates and stories written by members of the Everest 2005 team.

This spring marks a return to Everest of Ben Webster, Shaunna Burke and Mike Swarbrick, the team's media technician. For Garry Hartlin, a technology professor at Algonquin College, this will be his first trip to Everest. He will join Mike at Base Camp to provide technical and communications support for the team. As an Everest "newbie", Garry will be embarking on this adventure with fresh eyes. As a result, the journal entries will provide different perspectives on the Everest experience.
