Dear Family & Friends:
Less than 1 month to departure day.
Award-winning documentary filmmaker, Allan Smith, will be going with me to Everest this year with plans to prepare a documentary of the expedition. Allan will be going to Base Camp on the South side and possibly as high as the North Col on the North side.
Here is a movie trailer prepared by Allan. You can also view the trailer with additional information on the website of Allan’s company, DreamQuest Productions.
In my next post, I plan to feature some of the exciting new electronics I will be bringing with me this year.

Bill, you are true pioneer. “The Summit x 2” is a magnificent pursuit, and I wish you and the entire production all the best. We hope to see you on your way up to Base Camp.
With best wishes for smooth sailing in the forthcoming project ahead.
