    Helm Hill Runner on Everest

    Good luck to Pete Brittleton on his Everest attempt. You can follow his progress at...

    I hope he gets to the top, but I hope even more that he gets back safely.

    Pete Britt seems to be getting on ok up Everest. I must say I do like the reports on the website. They make it sound too easy; just popping up to camp 3 and back today etc. I'm sure it's tougher than they are making out.

    He's even texted a few people, so basecamp is hardly wilderness any more.

    Good luck to him for this week's summit attempt.

    He's only gone and done it!

    Pete reached the summit today and has got back down to the top camp safely which is fabulous news.
