It is every mountaineer's dream to see Mount Everest and visit Everest Base Camp. NikonNet.com is happy to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first American ascent of Mount Everest, with a new special trek organized to commemorate this exciting event.

Starting on April 30th, the duo of the first American on Everest—Jim Whittaker, and the Sherpa who climbed with him, Nawang Gombu—once again ascended the mountain and relived their 40-year-old Everest story. Nikon Pro Markets Tech Rep and Photographer Mark S. Kettenhofen was along with them, and reported back live with images all the way from Kathmandu to the top of the world's largest mountain.
