The Sacred PUJA ceremony in the Tengboche Monastery
This episode could be one of the most important regarding our Everest Expedition. No one should go on the holy Mt Everest without a proper Puja ceremony. From what I'm told the Sherpas will not support any individual that doesn't respect and go through the Puja ceremony process. Our ceremony takes about 45 minutes and is conducted by the local monastery Lama. The chanting ceremonial cymbal and gong echo through the monastery chamber. The whole ceremony is nothing less than magical. Enjoy peeks podcast and please support my charity Foreman 7 project. Org

Everest is only 20 days away with guest Austin O'Such at 12,000+' ASL Exploring expedition details!
What a great podcast delivered at 12,000+' ASL in the middle of a blizzard with Son in Law, Austin O'Such. It is so interesting to do a Q and A session with a non climber because I have heard these questions many times and now they are answered for your listing ears. There's nothing as invigorating as delivering a Podcast with your son-in-law in a blizzard at 12000 plus vertical feet above sea level. Austin chose not to go downtown and hangout in the city but to spend a week up here helping me train and acclimatize at 12 to 13000' above sea level. Austin is one of many who have come to my side to help train for this expedition on Everest. I am very proud to say I have so many family members and friends that are supporting this major goal in my life. Listen along and sure you're gonna learn a bunch. Remember you can see video and photos of the different expeditions and the different seasons at www.peaksPodcast.rocks Also don't forget our charity www.foreman7project.org when 100% of the funds go to kids at need, letting them experience things that you and I completely take for granted.
