Everest Base Camp

In the novel "Peak", we talk a lot about base camp and advanced base camp (ABC). Climbers go between the two to get acclimatized to the altitude, to prevent altitude sickness. I thought it would be neat to see an actual base camp on Mt. Everest. You can see the summit of Mt. Everest in the background at 29,028 ft.!

Mount Washington

Mount Washington, located in New Hampshire is the highest peak in the Northeastern United States, at 6,288 feet. It is famous for its dangerously wild weather, holding the record for the highest wind gust directly measured at the Earth's surface, at 231 mph!! on the afternoon of April 12, 1934.
