Kangshung Face, Mt. Everest Trek 2008 changes back to ABC

It's no secret, the Chinese Mountaineering Authority (CMA) loves Eric Simonson. Those of you who have been following my travel plans for the next year know that instead of the usual Mt. Everest Advanced Base Camp trek that I usually lead in April, we were planning a trip to the remote East Face on Everest for 2008. This was due to a trekking restriction placed by the CMA (for 2008) on trekking groups going to ABC. The Chinese will be running the Olympic Torch to the Summit of Everest and feel that it is in their best interest to limit extraneous traffic during that time. We have however been granted an exception to be there, and of course consider ourselves lucky to have the privilege of being there during this historic event.
