Everest 2002: Vini, Vidi, Vici
This week on MountainZone.com. The 2002 Mount Everest expedition is wrapping up after an amazing months-long journey that saw 17 of our team reach the summit on the morning of the 25th and then, over the next few days, descend safely. It was a bittersweet climax for the team that hoped to get the youngest and the oldest climbers to the top of the world... For guide Luis Benitez summitting was more than a personal goal, he had a mission based on a promise made to bid a family's final farewell to their father, lost on the Slopes of Everest last year. All this and much more on MountainZone.com.
