SMS weather forecast for the Everest and Himalayan season
Adventure Weather will be distributing free SMS weather reports for all on the mountains this coming Everest and Himalayan season, according to Mounteverest.net. "The forecasts are made by professional mets offices, analyzed by climbers and then e-mailed to BC camps, and SMS’d in shorter versions straight to climbers sat phones in high camps. Last year the forecasts were posted at the South Side Everest Base Camp Internet Café. All of this is done free of charge to all the climbers on Everest and the Himalayan peaks – the only requirement we have is that those with email access share the reports with those smaller teams who don’t, and mail in feedback afterwards for improved services the next year. Again this year will be North and South Side specific forecasts, including surrounding 8000+ mountains". |
