The presentation will depict a 14 day trek to and climb of the 21,000 ft. snow-capped Mera Peak, a mountain in the Everest Region of Nepal. It will include some maps showing the route, photos of approach to the climb, then of the ascent capturing the enormous size of these mountains and shots from the summit on a beautiful, sunny morning with Everest in the background. Details on how you can do this trek will also be shared. Various materials from the peoples of the area will be available.
