A huge thanks to all of our sponsors and partners!

We'd like to extend a big thanks to all our sponsors and partners that have provided gear and support for this expedition:

Sherpa Adventure Gear makes top quality climbing apparel. From base layers, soft shells, hard shells, synthetic and down insulation, and hats, we are outfitted head to toe. Sherpa Adventure Gear apparel is all made right here in Kathmandu..

Petzl manufactures excellent ice and alpine climbing gear, in addition to numerous other climbing related products. We'll be using Petzl icetools, crampons, ice screws, harnesses, helmets, headlamps, and various other climbing gear on this trip.

Cilo Gear makes the best alpine climbing packs in the world. Handmade in Portland, Oregon, these packs rule. The packs feature brilliant designs made with super high-tech materials, including Dyneema, making the packs ultralight and durable. We're psyched to both be using the NWD 45L's and the NWD 30L's on our climb.

Ortik is an original climbing gear company featuring cutting-edge designs and un-parralled quality on a number of products geared toward alpine-climbing. We are excited to use the Ortik Tupek climbing shelter, the Ortik Jet Stream 2 tent and the Ortik Back Lite sleeping mats on our climb.  Keep an eye on this company for many more super-innovative climbing-specific products in the future.

Feathered Friends makes the best sleeping bags on the planet and always have. Hand made in Seattle, Washington it doesn't get any better than this. We're both using the Feathered Friends Snow Bunting for our climb.

A huge thanks goes out to our communication sponsor Bonair Winery.  Bonair Winery supplies us with the means of satellite phone support that will allow us to provide field-dispatches and updates on our progress.  Thanks Bonair!!

And last but not least, thanks to Climb High Himalaya for providing unparalleled expedition support. Again, Rajen Thapa has come through for us to layout an awesome adventure. Raj is a logistical genius and we highly recommend his services for anyone climbing or trekking in Nepal.
