The Team

Climbing a mountain like Everest is not a one person job.  In fact, you may have recently read that Sir Edmund Hillary's successful first ascent of the mountain involved an expedition 400 people in size!   Whereas the team behind Mount Everest 2008 is not not quite that large, it does consist of some outstanding people and organiations.  Get to know the players here.
