CLIMB FOR HOPE Join the most inspiring climb ever attempted, organized by the father of a disabled daughter to conquer two lofty challenges: Everest and the medical mystery of Rett Syndrome. Start from exotic Kathmandu with your Sherpa guides and 9 tons of equipment, then confront menacing jungle, massive landslides and impassable mud roads on the way to Tibet! Setup base camp in the thin air of 17,000 feet and feel the physically and mentally depleting effects of that altitude. Race against time to surmount Everest -- knowing that for every three climbers who have reached the summit, the mountain has claimed one life. Battle the continuing threats of extreme cold, avalanches, 100-mph winds, altitude sickness, exhaustion and injury or death as you meet the Exciting Challenge of Everest!!
