Xtreme podcast update: Maoist guerillas injure westerners climbers
Posted by Marc Eisenstadt
Holy smokes... I previously posted an Xtreme podcasting story. This update caught me by surprise... read the following and find the audio report below...
My colleague Chris Valentine now writes:
We received another message from my Italian mountaineer friend Lorenzo Gariano today. He and his team, who are intending to climb Everest via the north col in late May, are trapped in Katmandu, indirectly due to action by Maoist guerillas. The city's bus drivers are refusing to take them to Base Camp without armed escort.
Check out the 12 Apr 2005 13:37 (UK time) audio report, or subscribe to the RSS/podcast feed at the bottom of that page.
[UPDATE: "In a chat with one of the climbers in Kathmandu, ExplorersWeb has learned the details of the Maoist attack involving two Russian climbers en route from Kathmandu to the border town of Nyamare Saturday.". See also BBC article 'Meeting Nepal's Maoists' for more background.]
