Everest, May 31, 2005. Our team slowly making progress towards the Geneva Spur at around 7600m. The Geneva Spur name comes from the 1952 Swiss Mount Everest Expedition. The Spur is the last challenge to overcome on the way to the South Col. From the top of Geneva Spur, the South Col can be seen, and when looking at it Mount Everest is on the left and Lhotse to the right. ————————————————————————Alpine Ascents Everest Expedition 2005.

Everest, May 31, 2005. Traversing the Yellow Band On the way to Camp 4 (7950m) on the South Col. The wind started to pick up and we were not optimistic about the weather forecast.

Everest, May 31, 2005. Jose Luis Peralvo making his way up the Lhotse Face, a long slow ascent just putting one foot in front of the other. I have to say climbing to Camp 4 on May 31 was a real mind game with most of the expeditions having abandoned their summit ambitions for the season.
