Tomorrow morning (29 March), Michael Dunjey will fly from Perth to Kathmandu, where he will join an international expedition in his attempt to become the first WA-born climber to summit Mt Everest.
The summit attempt represents over ten years of dreaming, planning and rigorous training for the 34-year-old Manning resident.
“With just one day to go before I leave Australia I’m pretty excited,” said Dunjey. “It’s hard to know if I’m ready. Hopefully I’ll be able to answer that question positively in mid-May when I should summit Mt Everest, all things going well.”
Dunjey will fly from Perth to Kathmandu where he will join his team from Adventure Consultants. From there the team travels to Lukla to commence the trek to Everest Base Camp. Michael will spend around 4 weeks acclimatising and resting before pushing for the summit between May 13 – 25.
Track Michael’s progress with regular updates from this website and in weekly updates in The West Australian newspaper.
