                    [Summary] => The North Face, distributor of mountaineering apparel, is no longer a sponsor of the First Philippine Mt. Everest Expedition Team.


Sources said the all-Filipino crew headed by Art Valdez had severed its ties with The North Face because the latter is also sponsoring rival climber Romi Garduce, who is hoping to overtake the squad in scaling the world’s highest peak.

                    [Summary] => Along the borders of Nepal and China lies Mt. Everest, the world’s tallest peak, which the first Philippine Mt. Everest Expedition team will try to scale in 2007. 


At 8,844 meters (29,000 feet), Mt. Everest towers over other mountain peaks, presenting the ultimate challenge to mountaineers and adventurers from all over.


Since its discovery in 1852, more than 800 people have conquered the Himalayan giant’s snow-capped summit. But unfortunately, out of this total figure, more than 100 have met their deaths on its massive, freezing slopes.

Many Filipinos may feel down in the dumps, but not the First Philippine Mt. Everest Team that set a new record by reaching the summit of Mt. Muztagh Ata at the border of Pakistan and China last week.


At 7,546 meters (24,758 feet), the mountain is the highest peak ever reached by Filipinos.


The Everest Expedition Team of climbers and adventure racers was led by Regie Pablo in its succesful attempt to climb Mt. Muztagh Ata.
