In March, 1999, Gary L. Moore will undertake an archeological project at Everest Base Camp, and Herbert Centrone will both climb and conduct higher elevation archeological recovery. We are looking for trekkers to participate in archeological project, and climbers for high elevation work and summit bid.

In the autumn of 1998 a team of
12 Americans will attempt a new direct finish
to the 1970 Bonnington route on the South Face
of Annapurna I. The expedition is still searching for sponsors
and trekkers.

Hello:
In 1998, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police celebrates 125 years of policing in Canada. To mark the event, a team of climbers from the RCMP will attempt to reach the summit of Mount Wood (15,741 feet; 4,839 metres) located in the St. Elias coastal range of the Yukon Territory. The team will consist of 4 mounties, one park ranger and an Alaskan state trooper.
Mount Wood is named after Assistant Commissioner Zachary Taylor Wood, who spent 15 years in the Yukon between 1897-1912. There have been only 12 expeditions to Mount Wood over the last 60 years, nine of which have been successful in placing team members on the summit.
The expedition is climbing the mountain carrying digital telecommunications equipment. Dispatches, sound files, and photographs of the climbers will be forwarded to a special web site devoted to the event on a daily basis. Following the expedition, a series of public slide shows are planned.
Our company has developed the official web site for this event as a sponsorship. Just last month we covered the Yukon Quest International Dog Sled Race with a similar telecommunications system.
I write to request a link from your site. We will create a reciprocal link to your site. Events of this nature can generate huge activity and provide mutual benefits to both linked sites.
We believe the event would be of interest to users of your site. Our goal is simply to have the site seen by as many people as possible. As a frame of reference, during the 16 days of the Yukon Quest, the site received in excess of 300,000 hits. As we are developing links with mountaineering, adventure and geographic sites around the world, we believe the RCMP site could generate well in excess of 1,000,000 hits during the climb.
Please visit the web site at http://www.hyperborean-web.com/rcmpclimb
It is still in development, and we are adding components daily.
I look forward to hearing from you.

On 9 March 97 Christine Feld Boskoff of Atlanta Georgia, USA will leave for an expedition to climb Lhotse.
Lhotse (27,940 ft.) is a sister peak to Mt. Everest, it is the world's fourth highest mountain, and has never been summited by an American woman (only one other woman in history has summited Lhotse).
If Christine, who will be climbing with her husband Keith, is able to summit Lhotse, she will not only be the first American female to do so, she will tie for the most 8000 meter peaks by an American female. GOOD LUCK CHRISTINE!!!

Ann Hahn is going to climb Aconcagua 6,962m (22,841 ft) Argentina. Fall 1998.
Any volunteer Llama drivers?

Chris Boskoff is planning to attempt Mt Everest in the Spring of 1998. If Chris is successfulon Everest, she will have summitted four 8000 meter peaks. She will then have climbed more 8000 meter peaks than any other American woman. We hope she doesn't stop there. maybe the first woman to climb all 14 8000 meter peaks?
- Reply from: Kathryn Adams
Chris did make the summit on May 26th. She has now summitted three 8000 m peaks and I'm sure she will be looking forward to her fourth, which would make her the first women to summit four peaks at that height. Good luck Chris!

Hope you make it to the top.
