February 2004
This month Andrew is heading to Canada to meet with a team of high altitude veterans including Ben Webster and Hector Poncedeleon, where they will spend two weeks climbing and training in the Canadian wilderness before heading to Mt Everest in Nepal to shoot a documentary film for Discovery Channel. The team plans to ascend the SE ridge of Mt Everest, filming their climb to the summit.
Following that climb, he will lead a private group to Mt Elbrus, Europe’s highest mountain and one of the seven summits. After that it is back to his favourite destination, Pakistan, leading a private trek to K2 basecamp.
The Himalayan post monsoon season (September – November) can expect to see Andrew returning to high altitude, to guide on Cho Oyu and to make another 8000 metre ascent. If you are interested in joining Andrew on Cho Oyu, contact info@andrew-lock.com.
