Everest North side.
In Spring 2005 , Adrian Crane of Team Karma will attempt Everest from the North Side
Adrian leaves on March 25th. He should be in the base camp area by April 5th or so and preparing to begin climbing. Camps and supplies will be put in place during April. A summit attempt will be made in May. It's impossible to know the exact summit date since it depends on the weather, preparations and health. A best guess date is about May 18th. See the Shadowchase Everest page for occasional updates.
