ʻAʻole makemake ʻo Ashley Schmeider lāua ʻo James Sisson i ka male maʻamau. No laila, i ka manawa i hoʻoholo ai lākou e hoʻopaʻa i ka puʻupuʻu, ua hele aku lāua i ke kiʻi paʻi kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi ʻo Charleton Churchill e ʻike inā hiki iā ia ke hoʻokō i kā lāua moeʻuhane.

I ka wā mua, ua manaʻo ʻo Schmeider e hele i kahi ʻāpana, akā aia ʻo Churchill i kāna mau hoʻolālā. Ua makemake mau ka mea paʻi kiʻi ma Kaleponi e kī i ka male ma ka Mount Everest Base Camp. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua hāʻawi ʻo ia i ka manaʻo i hoʻokahi manawa me kekahi mau kāne ʻē aʻe, akā naʻe ua hoʻopōʻino ka ōlaʻi i kā lākou huakaʻi. I ka manawa i hāʻawi ai ʻo ia i ka manaʻo iā Ashley lāua ʻo James, aia lākou a pau i loko.

"E like me kā mākou makemake e kaʻana like i kā mākou lā kūikawā me ko mākou ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha, ua huki ʻia mākou i ka manaʻo o ka holo ʻana i ka wā hoʻomaha hoʻomaha," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Schmeider. ʻO ka leka uila i kēlā me kēia lā. "He mau makemake nui mākou ʻelua i waho a loaʻa ka ʻike ma kahi kiʻekiʻena a 14,000 kapuaʻi, akā ua ʻike mākou he ʻekolu mau pule ʻo Everest Base Camp e ʻoi aku ana ke koi a me ka noʻonoʻo ma mua o nā mea āpau a mākou i ʻike ai." (E kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ko lākou pilina!)

Hoʻolālā nā mea ʻekolu i ka makahiki e hiki mai ana e hoʻomaʻamaʻa e piʻi i 38 mile a i kekahi o nā epic backdrops i ka honua. A i ka hiki ʻana mai o ka manawa, ua mākaukau ʻo Churchill e kākau i ka huakaʻi holoʻokoʻa. Ma hope ua kau ʻo ia i nā kiʻi o ka ʻike ma kāna blog paʻi kiʻi.

"Ua hoʻomaka ka hau ikaika i kekahi mau lā i ka huakaʻi," kākau ʻo ia. "Wahi a kā mākou alakaʻi Sherpa, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i ka hau ma luna o mākou ma mua o ka hoʻoilo."

Ua ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ke anuanu o ke anuanu i ke kiʻekiʻe, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o kāna hana ʻana i ke kiʻi ʻana i nā kiʻi o nā kāne ma nā wahi kupaianaha, wahi a Churchill. "E paʻa koke ko mākou mau lima inā haʻalele ʻia i nā mīkina lima," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia.

Ma waho o ke anuanu, hana pū ka ʻekolu i ka maʻi kiʻekiʻe a me ka lāʻau make, akā ʻaʻole ia i kāohi iā lākou mai ka hana ʻana i luna. A i ko lākou hiki ʻana i ka piko, haʻi ʻia iā lākou he hola a me ka hapa e ʻai ai, male, hoʻopaʻa lole, a kau ma luna o ka helikopter. Pela lakou i hana ai—me ka wela o waho, he -11 degere Fahrenheit.

Ua hoʻohiki lāua i nā hoʻohiki a me nā apo ma 17,000 kapuaʻi i hoʻopuni ʻia e kahi orkestra mauna me ka hau hau Khumbu kaulana ma hope o lākou.

"Makemake au e palapala i kahi male maoli e mare ana, ka huakaʻi ma ke ala, ka ʻeha, ka hauʻoli, ka luhi, nā hakakā, a me ka kemika aloha o ka wahine," haʻi ʻo Churchhill ʻO ka leka uila i kēlā me kēia lā. "Ma mua o kēlā, makemake au e hōʻike i ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o nā mauna hanohano weliweli a me ke aloha liʻiliʻi a palupalu ma waena o nā kānaka ʻelua."

E ʻōlelo mākou ua kuʻi ʻo ia.
