Ep. 48: Everest Base Camp

June 08, 2024 • Jeremy Pendrey • Episode 48

Listener Wade Tonkin and comedian Sean Keane join Jeremy to talk about their treks to Everest Base Camp. This amazing trek in Nepal takes hikers high in the Himalayas to the base camp where climbers get ready to ascend the tallest mountain on earth. Wade tells about his inspiring story of getting fit for this difficult trek and Sean tells us about the stand-up comedy performance he did during the trek. Listen to the end to hear clips from the actual performance. And Jeremy fills us in on Mt. Everest, Sherpas, and of course, the base camp itself.
