EBC - Briefing by AB Tan

Special thanks to AB Tan, the experienced high mountains trekker, for conducting this informative briefing on Saturday 6 June 2009.

The 3-hour briefing, which started at 3:20 p.m. covers trekking to Everest Base Camp ("EBC"), high altitude and the effect on trekkers; trekking gear and a lot more other valuable information. He also shared with us his unique experiences when he trekked to EBC (5,500m) and Mera Peak (6,500m).

The special briefing by AB Tan is part of the continual effort to ensure a successful mission to Everest Base Camp (5,500m) by team members starting from 4 October 2009.
