Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world, is the ultimate challenge for mountain climbers who dare conquer its feat. Many, amongst the elite in the mountain climbing community, have perished in their attempt to reach the peak.
Still many developed nations and some developing, have had the pleasure and pride to have their nationals hoist their flag with all its glory up held high.

Vilane has made all of us stick our chest out in justifiable pride and wonder” (2003). This time, it will be our own Sirak, with our beloved Green, Yellow and Red on top of the world.

I have a numebr of questions?
1. Who is Sirak?
2. Has he climbed any mountain other than Entoto?
3. 12 weeks of preparation is nothing for Mt. Everest
4. What ha Sirak done?
5. I have seen Mt. Everest from a distance. It is no joking matter. Not even the best repared atlet like Haile G/Selassie can do it. It takes differnt sort of preparation.
6. You need to be acustomed to high altitude? Cold weather, physical pitness.
