$25,000 is the debt I end up after Everest. That is a lot of money for a musician/mountain guide for me and it will probably take me 8 or 10 years to pay back. But that is the price I pay for trying to climb Everest. I really appreciate all your donations past and recent. I am very grateful for all your generosity and I am also very sorry for the outcome of this expedition. I hope you can all see that we fought until the end to keep the expedition going but in the end it became impossible.
I am now trying to find a way to get back home as soon as possible but it looks hard. I went to the office of Korean Airlines and the first flight they can put me on is May 15!! I am looking for alternatives because I need to get back home and start working and generating money to pay my debt. Let’s see what I can do.
