The Rest of Everest Video Podcast (iPod/AppleTV)

Everything New Is Old Again. We've rolled into the little town of Shegar, otherwise known as NEW Tingri. Man, what a sense of deja vu. I feel like I've been here before.

It'll Stunt Your Growth. Today we had some memorable experiences with a bunch of kids. The image of 6-year-old children smoking is something I will not soon forget, but more about that in a second.

Ben Clark's Spring 2008 Expedition. Ben and his climbing partners Josh Butson and Tin Clarke are heading back to Nepal for a new expedition.

Smile And Say (Yak) Cheese! We're steadily making our way towards Everest and are now in the city of Shigatse. This is the 2nd largest city in Tibet and home to the 5th largest monastery, Tashilunpo.

Instant Karma's Going To Get You. Today we visited the Kumbum, the largest chorten, or stupa in Tibet. This place was a feast for the eyes, and I WAS able to photograph everything I wanted!

No Demons Here. We made it into Gyangtse today after some incredible scenery along the way. This is Tibet's 4th largest city and the view is dominated by a fortress on a hill. Spectacular.

Movin' On Up. We spent our last few hours in Lhasa this morning. Of course, Scott and I had to make a few more Koras around the Jokhang before setting out onto the Friendship Highway.

Homesick and Altitude Sick in Lhasa. Today was a day of contrasts for me. On one hand I was amazed and enthralled by the Potala Palace. On the other hand, I was sad beyond words.

Violence in Lhasa And Everest Closures. Tibet has been in the news of late with violence in the capital city of Lhasa. There's also been news that China has closed the North side of Everest to foreign climbing teams until the 10th of May, 2008.

Yak. It's What's For Dinner. After visiting the amazing Jokhang Temple, Lobsang took us to a nice restaurant to have dinner. After perusing the menu all three of us decided to go for the Yak.
