Apa has checked in with his family from Thame and reports that there was a large snow storm, but that the Swiss are setting up ropes and he will attempt a summit on the unnamed peak within the next 10 days. Updates as they become available.
 

Apa is back in Nepal and it isn't even spring. Apa is participating in an attempt to summit a previously unclimbed and unnamed peak in the Himalayas. Read about the climb here.

Apa has returned. Here's a story on his arrival.

Dawa has not sent a status report on Apa.

But Apa called his son, Tenzing, in Utah and reported that he was already in Namche on his way to Kathmandu where he will get what has become a hero's weclome

I will update Apa's position as soon as possible. He will likely stay at Camp 4 on the way down due to the large number of people on the route.

I just got off the radio with Apa. He has just broken his own world record to stand on the top of Mt. Everest for the 19th time.
Over the crackling radio, in a breathless voice he told me: "I am at the top and am looking at all the prayer flags...I have just satisfied the deities and placed the Bhumpa on the summit...I am the last of our group to get to the top today as I was delayed at the Hillary Step because there are so many people here. I arrived here at 8am and have been here for 30 minutes... Its very cold so I am now heading down." He told us that he has been taking pictures at the top.
Pertemba and I congratualted him and wished him a safe climb back down.
