Paul Romero and Karen Lundgren on the Khumbu Ice Fall, Mt. Everest

Just got done chatting with Paul Romero via FaceBook in Kathmandu, Nepal. They just got back and are at the hotel refueling after an epic adventure. They are meeting with Sherpas later today to discuss their return trip in 2010 for an attempt at the summit of Everest. This expedition served as a scouting trip to the region in preparation for his son’s, Jordan Romero, quest to climb the world’s highest peak on every continent. Jordan has already climbed 5 of the 8 and conquering Everest would leave only 2 remaining (Antarctica and Oceania). Can’t wait to post more info about their trip in the coming days!

2010 AR World Series Preview (part 6)

Untamed New England is the mid-August race in the circuit of Adventure Racing World Series events. One disclaimer before I continue: this race is near-and-dear to my heart as I’m closely involved with the organizing of Untamed New England. I am biased. The race is, however, next in line for my preview of the entire 2010 ARWS schedule of events and so I am skirting the line here between commentator and promoter. On the bright side, I do know A LOT about this event! Let me turn my focus, then, to August and what’s in store for the AR World series . . .

The Coastal Challenge – Day 6

After six days of climbing volcanos, traversing rivers, fighting wind swept plateaus and scorching dry heat, Javier Montero (CRC) has secured his third consecutive overall win at The Coastal Challenge. Stage racing newcomer Margaret Phillips (Canada) took first place in the women’s division.

Cesar Ortega (CRC) finished second and first-time multi-day adventure racer Ty Stevens (USA) took third place overall. The six-day expedition race through Costa Rica’s must rugged and surreal mountainous range showed why you can’t expect what’s ahead on the trail.
