Best Virus Protection Description
Best Virus Protection Provides No Protection Against Viruses
Best Virus Protection, despite its name, is not a real anti-virus program. Rather, this fake security application is part of a scam, a kind of malware infection known as a rogue anti-virus program. Like its clones, Best Virus Protection is usually linked to an invasive Trojan infection that may often come accompanied with a dangerous rootkit component. All of these fake security applications carry out the same basic scam; they enter the victim's computer without the computer user's authorization and then spam the target with constant, alarming, false error messages. These are meant to scare computer users, and make them think that the infected computer is severely infected.
Then, Best Virus Protection – a malware infection itself – will claim that Best Virus Protection can remove these non-existent problems... for a fee. Of course, this is all part of a scam constructed to prey on computer users that are relatively new when it comes to computer security. After all, computer users with a bit more time using the Internet have come to find that spammers and criminals take advantage of any opportunity they can get to force computer users into becoming infected with malware and have learned to mistrust supposedly free anti-virus programs like Best Virus Protection. Malware associated with Best Virus Protection has the capacity to shut down many Windows components that are crucial when someone needs to deal with malware such as Windows System Restore, the Windows Registry Editor and even something as useful as the Task Manager.
Stopping and Protecting Yourself from Best Virus Protection
Most of the time, Best Virus Protection can be removed automatically with the help of a reliable anti-malware tool obtained from a reputable, trusted source. To bypass Best Virus Protection's self-defense mechanisms, it is often enough to start up in Safe Mode. In some cases, may be necessary the computer user to start up from a CD or external drive in order to clean the infected hard drive. To avoid Best Virus Protection infections in the future, avoid clicking on supposedly free online malware scans, since these kinds of advertisements are the most common source of a Best Virus Protection infection. Stay away from websites that are typically associated with malware, such as pornographic video websites, online casinos and websites dealing with pirated software or media.

Parnell to Taibu, SIX, well well well! That'll do nicely! Hip-high full toss, Taibu flicks it handsomely, it goes a long way over deep square for six! Zimbabwe right in this now!
Parnell to Taibu, 1 run, much better from Parnell, finds the yorker length and Taibu can only squeeze it away for a single
Parnell to Chigumbura, 1 run, OUT, oh no! Suicide for Chigumbura! Smashes a full toss out to Theron at deep point, a single was all that was on offer but he tried to come back for the second and never looked like making it. Big blow, he was well set
E Chigumbura run out 26 (20m 15b 3x4 1x6) SR: 173.33
Parnell to SW Masakadza, 1 run, Masakadza clips his first ball straight to short midwicket, takes a single and Zimbabwe need 15 from the final over
End of over 19 (19 runs) Zimbabwe 180/6 (15 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 9.47, RRR: 15.00)
- SW Masakadza 1 (1b)
- T Taibu 8 (3b 1x6)
- WD Parnell 4-0-41-0
- J Theron 3-0-22-1
Theron to bowl a crucial final over...
Theron to SW Masakadza, OUT, gone! Middle and leg stump out the ground! Masakadza gave himself plenty of room but couldn't connect as the yorker splattered the stumps. Dot ball as well
SW Masakadza b Theron 1 (2m 2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
Theron to Cremer, 1 run, good ball again, finds the yorker, Cremer times it nicely, but just for a single to deep cover
Theron to Taibu, 2 runs, how they have managed two there I don't know, Taibu bunted a full toss to long-on and scampered back for two
Theron to Taibu, 1 run, excellent bowling again, consistently finding the yorker and not much Taibu can do
Theron to Cremer, 1 run, really good effort from Theron, lands another fullish ball that Cremer swings to midwicket
Theron to Taibu, 1 leg bye, that'll be all. Full and straight to finish, Taibu takes a leg bye that brings up Zimbabwe's highest T20 score against a Test nation but South Africa take the match and series
South Africa win by eight runs and win series 2-0 Another good effort from Zimbabwe, their batsmen have been mighty impressive but their pacemen suffered. JP Duminy found some of his best form to carry South Africa to a score that looked a long way ahead of what Zimbabwe could manage but the tourists almost pulled off a shock. Nitin will have his bulletin ready soon to tell you all the details, so make sure you check that out. That's all from us, thanks for all the emails, I hope you'll join us on October 15 for the 1st ODI.

Hurricanes-Maple Leafs Preview
Associated Press | Last updated February 03, 2013
The Carolina Hurricanes are generating plenty of shots. They're just not capitalizing on their opportunities as often as they'd like and have been unable to gain much traction in the season's early going as a result. They get a chance to reverse that trend Monday night against the Maple Leafs at Toronto, where they've had success while dominating the series of late. Carolina has won six of eight in Toronto and eight of 11 overall in the series, averaging 4.4 goals in those victories. Carolina (3-4-0), though, has lost two of three and gave up five goals for the third time this season in a 5-3 loss at Philadelphia on Saturday, the first stop on a season-long six-game road trip. The Hurricanes recorded 42 shots for the third time but only found the back of the net on three. They're averaging 38.1 shots on goal - the most in the NHL - but have scored 18 times on 267 total shots for a 6.7 percentage that ranks last. Carolina's power play has been ineffective, scoring on 1 of 6 chances against the Flyers and only 4 of 36 opportunities (11.1 percent) on the season. "Our power play just wasn't good enough, I think," Eric Staal told NHL.com. "We need to execute a little bit better. There were some plays we could have had but we just didn't make it happen." Staal and Jeff Skinner have provided most of Carolina's scoring, accounting for 11 of the team's 18 goals. Free-agent signing Alexander Semin has just one goal on 31 shots. The Maple Leafs are 4-4-0 and are 1-3-0 at home - their worst start on home ice since dropping their first six home contests in 2009-10. They strung together their first consecutive wins overall before suffering a 1-0 home loss to Boston on Saturday. Toronto victimized itself with sloppy play around the Bruins' blue line, often giving up the puck while only mounting 21 shots. The Leafs are averaging 2.0 goals at home compared to 3.3 in road games. "That's the way they play, and they're a good team," coach Randy Carlyle said. "They did what they had to do to be effective to play a road game and we didn't do enough of the things that we're capable of to establish a strong home game in the 60 minutes." Starring in the loss was goaltender James Reimer, who stopped 33 of the 34 shots he faced. Reimer is off to a solid start, posting a .922 save percentage while starting Toronto's last four games. Ben Scrivens' save percentage is .881. Reimer has been solid in four starts against Carolina, going 3-0-1 with a shutout and a 1.48 goals-against average. "James Reimer gave us a chance," Carlyle said. "That's all you can ask of your goaltender." Despite taking 36 shots in eight games, Phil Kessel is still scoreless and seeking his 100th goal with Toronto. He had nine goals in his first eight games last year before finishing with a team-best 37.

Un pequeño paraíso: aislado del mundo, es un lugar en el que se puede estar tranquilamente
We are in a small village which feels quite old- fashioned. Farmland surrounds us, and the sea is only 10mins drive away at Veules Les Roses, which has been voted one of the prettiest villages in France. There are markets nearby almost every day for wonderful fresh produce and you can also buy fresh fish from the beach. We ourselves live next door in an ancient farmhouse, but the guest property is completely independent and private. However, we could hook up for an aperitif if we are here when you are.

Gagner's next contract: How much, how long?
Sam seems to our number one center by scoring points. He is producing point/game. I think he is asking both long term and big money. What is your opinion to following things.
1. How much?
I think that we do not have chance to get him under 5M. Otherwise he is taking us to arbitration and walk away as a UFA in 2014
2. How Long?
I think he is not going to accept less than 5 years
3. Should we trade him
I don't think so. He can be excelent number 2 center in the contending team. Only way we will trade him is if he asks Eberle and Hall equivalent money.
conclusion 5M for 5-6 years is optimal.
$5 x 5 is what I would give him. It is affordable in the future and is tradeable if need be. Hopefully he would accept it but given his great season so far, who knows.
Admittedly, I am 'one of those' that don't see Gagner as the 2nd line center that this team needs. A good player no doubt, but not the player the team needs. He is kind of like the Batman at the end of the 2nd movie, "he's the [player Edmonton] deserves, but not the one it needs..." This is my opinion - and citing his points or his heart is not going to change my mind, because I agree that he is putting up the points and he has a lot of heart.
I would take him to arbitration and then see what he can do next season before handing out 5+ million to him
I think he will be part of a trade to address some of this teams needs before he gets another contract. The Oilers can't afford to spend big money on a 2nd line center that leaves us too small up the middle and isn't a big difference maker in a game. I like Sam and he is getting his points but he really can't change momentum or take a game into his hands to make that difference every team needs some nights.
For that, I think he will finally be traded either at the deadline or next summer before he gets a new contract with the Oilers.
I say this as a compliment to him though. He is playing so well that he deserves a good contract and term but that contract and term for him just doesn't fit on this team.
4 x 4.25 M cant see why we would pay him Kessler money as a #2 center. So just a notch below.
I'd try 3-4 years for X 4.25-4.5 if possible. If he was worth 5 mill, we'd be scoring more goals and winning more goals. His 5 on 5 play is nasty. His +/- is brutal.
If the numbers are $5 per ..that is too much for a player that does not fit the role the oilers need. Especially, when your number 1 centre is due for a new contract in the next year, and another top 2 defenceman, whoever that may be, will need to be paid well, and the other young players needing cap space. Justin Schultz will not be on a EL contract forever. It just does not work in a salary cap world. Tough decisions ahead. as of now I cannot envision this team competing in an intense physical tough stanley cup playoff.
2yrs 3mill/per.
Hopefully we have a real 2nd line C by the time his contract is up.
Package him while he's RFA and his value is high for a top pairing dman or Jordan Staal type 2nd line center.
3years at 4mil?
3 years 12 mil.
Even though I said 4 at 4.25 I dont think it happens. Its going to be more than that.
Can you imagine the conversation last year for the 1 yr deal? I can, now its up to the Oilers to live up to their word cause Sam is living up to his right now.
I wouldnt be surprised if Sam holds out for 5 M just like ROR is and rightfully so.
What picks would we get for Gags if someone gave him 5 mil as an RFA?
More likely 4.0-4.25 for 3 years. I think he'd sign for that personally.
Him having a great year in a shortened year before FA has consquences. Hell want to be paid like a 65 point guy when hes only a 45-50 in his career. Personally, I think hell wnat a long term deal and with Yakupov/ RNH/Schultz needing deals I dont see how they squeeze Gagner in to.
I think he gets dealt if hes asking too much or get a larger amount of $$ on a shorter 2-3 year term.
If you give him 5 mil X 2 seasons it wont ruin your bank. I relaize hell be overpaid but you can use those 2 seasons to see if hes for real. If so, find a big LW to play second line and keep Gagner.
My order of priority
1) Trade for a bigger #2c or defensively relaible
2) Sign for 2 years
3) Long term deal
He is still tied for 18th in scoring if it is like this after 48 games his agent will be asking for 5mil .
4x4 or 5x4

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - February 18, 2000, New Braunfels, Texas Vol. 149 No. 66 20 pgs. in 2 sections February 18, 2000 PRIDAY Serving Coma! County since 1852 50 centsNew cable company eyeing NB By Peri Stone-Palmquist Staff Writer Paragon Cable is the only cable game in town now — but that could change. A startup company headquartered in Austin has announced plans to build and operate a billion-dollar fiber optic communications network in New Braunfels, Austin, San Marcos and San Antonio. The city of New Braunfels got a letter of intent from Grande Communications this past week. City officials might meet with Grande representatives as early as next week to start discussing a franchise agreement. "We look forward to sitting down at the table with them," assistant to the city manager Don Ferguson said. Grande Communications, a broadband communications network, plans to deliver analog and digital cable, local and long distance telephone and high speed Internet access services over one single fiber broadband network. "It has such a tremendous bandwidth, that we're able to offer cable, telephone and Internet services," executive vice president Tipton Ross said. The company plans to start construction in the next few months and complete the entire Interstate 35 corridor in five to seven years. The company expects to bring as many as 1,200 permanent jobs to the area. Because New Braunfels has a nonexclusive franchise agreement with Paragon Cable, it is able to allow cable competition. "We're open and willing to talk to anyone who's interested in exploring this," Ferguson said. Paragon Cable, a Time Warner Cable company, took over New Braunfels' cable system in early June. The company's takeover happened gradually, phasing out TCI Cablevision, which provided cable service for New Braunfels since the late 1980s. The company's departure was said to be part of an exchange agreement that would give Time Warner, Paragon's parent company, access to TCI markets in Texas in exchange for TCI's acquisition of Time Warner-controlled markets in Oregon and Montana. In April, New Braunfels City Council voted to release TCI from its current franchise agreement, allowing Paragon to take over. Time Warner Cable president Navarra Williams said officials were designing a fiber optic system in New Braunfels now. Most residents could hook up to the system by the end of 2000, he said. And because customers will be hooked into fiber optic lines, they should experience more reliable service, he said. "Customers should experience fewer cable outages and better picture quality," he said. Customers also will have the option to hook into Paragon's new digital service, which offers up to I ll channels.See CABLE/3A Council takes up bed tax petition today A ALEXANDER Councilman wants to give voters another choice By Peri Stone-Palmquist Staff writer Councilman Larry Alexander wants his bed tax freeze plan on the May 6 ballot right beside the petition initiative — but some residents can't figure out why. Alexander says he's trying to give voters a choice. Others aigue that vot-ers already have a choice — to vote yes or no to the petition initiative. At a special meeting 4 p.m. today, council will decide whether the initiative, turned in Tuesday with more than 1,000 signatures, and the freeze plan will go on the May 6 ballot. Because the initiative includes more than 30 percent of registered voters who voted in the last general election, council must consider the proposal, which would eliminate using the city's portion of bed tax revenue for a convention center. If council votes against the petition, the initiative goes on the ballot anyway. If the petition initiative goes on the ballot, Alexander said he wanted council to put the freeze plan on the ballot as well. The plan approved at Monday's council meeting, calls for the city to freeze 20 percent of revenue made from the I percent hotel/motel tax for two years andMeeting ■ WHAT: New Braunfels City Council special meeting ■ WHEN: 4 p.m., Friday ■ WHERE: New Braunfels Municipal Building, 424 S. Castle Ave., Meeting Room D ■ RESULTS: To find out how the council votes today, check out the Herald-Zeitung website at www.herald-zeitung.com after 6 p.m. for coverage of the special meeting. Career expo expanding minds, views By Heather Todd Staff Writer A career in the funeral service industry might not have appealed to most high school students before Tuesday morning, but an eyecatching display and some brochures at the Annual Career and Community Awareness Expo might have changed a few minds. The casket and embalming fluids on display caught more than a few passing glances from visitors walking by the Funeral Services Careers booth at the New Braunfels Civic Center Tuesday. Curiosity finally got the best of them as groups of students gathered around the booth, looking at the cosmetics and gadgets on display and talking with funeral service representatives. The display was one of more than IOO booths represented by local businesses, social service organizations, law enforcement agencies and post-secondary schools at the fourth annual "Opportunities for the New Millennium Career, Life, Education" expo at the civic center, 308 S. Seguin St. Local residents and students from New Braunfels and Comal school districts as well as students from neighboring districts — San Marcos, Marion and Schertz — browsed the booths for information about employment and educational opportunities. Bill Morgan, special education supervisor for CI SD, said 105 area agencies provided free information about employment, school to work programs, financial assistance, disability assistance, training programs and post-secondary educational opportunities. Morgan said organizers expected about 2,500 people to walk through the civic center between 8:30 a.m and 4:30 p.m. This past year's expo brought in about 1,800 people. then decide how it should be spent. The Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce, Inc. asked council to consider saving that money for two years — between $1 and $2 million — for a down payment on a convention center, but Alexander said all proposals would get equal consideration in two years. Council's action Monday was not binding and could be changed at any time. It gives council the flexibility to designate bed tax money to any project at any time or to refuse to spend its 20 percent until two years is up, even if the petition is approved. "If it's established by council already, I don't know why (Alexander) wants to put it on the ballot," petition supporter Debbie Flume said. "It doesn't make any sense."See COUNCIL/3A NBHS student Elise Saegert speaks with Becci Pickelman and Michele Shamrock of Wal-Mart during the Annual Career and Community Awareness Expo Thursday at New Braunfels Civic Center. K. JESSIE SLATEN/ Herald-Zeitung Bomb threat cancels SBMS classes today From Staff Reports Classes at Spring Branch Middle School have been cancelled today after a written bomb threat was found in a boys' restroom Thursday. School officials said the note indicated a bomb would go off about noon today at the school, 21053 Texas 46 West. School employees, law enforcement officials and bomb-sniffing dogs, searched the school. "We have to take every precaution necessary to ensure that our students and staff are safe," Comal Independent School District Superintendent Jerry Major said. "Students and staff at SBMS will have to make up the day on March 17." March 17 is a student holiday in the Comal school district. Now, Smithson Valley High, Smithson Valley Middle and SBMS will have to attend school that day because of recent bomb threats that have plagued the district.

Representatives from Freese and Nichols, hired to conduct a feasibility study on flood control structures, told commissioners that the five potential dam sites could reduce the {leak flow at the confluence of the Comal and Guadalupe rivers by 34 percent during a 100-year flood. Four of the potential dam sites are on the Guadalupe River at Devil's Backbone, Bear Creek, Jacobs Creek and Elm Creek. The other site is on a tributary to Dry Comal Creek, west of Dittlinger quarry. Commissioners voted for FNI to continue analyzing the impact of the five potential dams. "The numbers do show significant results," Commission er Jack Dawson said. The potential dam sites we picked as a result of FI hydraulic and hydrologic cor puter models that determim the downstream effects floods in the county.

The Strapped is hand-crafted on the gritty west side of Chicago using industrial machines and techniques we learned from disassembling vintage military bags. For this edition, we had many people request we use our 18 oz. Martexin Wax Canvas. Thanks for the great idea! This material is wonderfully water-resistant, rugged, and only looks better with time. Inside you'll be greeted by a dedicated 15" computer section with a couple of ample sized pockets for added gear and gadgets. You'll notice an extremely comfortable MIL-SPEC Webbing handle on Strapped that extends down the side of the bag for added support and character. A number of people told us they wanted an attached strap bag, with no rotating clip. Here it is! Under the flap on the front of the bag Strapped has a great piece of well thought out strapping for added organization over a large, easy to access pocket. We also included a couple of different ways to quickly clip keys, carabiners and more to the front of your bag. Strap one on for size and welcome to Defy.
Add a Horween Leather Mr. Groper comfort handle from our accessories page. Makes it feel even better!
Add a Schlep Martexin Wax Canvas Shoulder Pad with closed-cell foam technology. Great for if you fill up your bag!

What are you working on right now?
I'm getting breakfast ready for the rush of cab drivers who'll soon start arriving at my shelter near the Royal Albert Hall. I love my job and the fact that I'm continuing a long London tradition. When these shelters were built in 1875 there were 70; now there are only 13. I only let cabbies sit inside but I'll open the hatch and do takeaways for the public. As well as teas and coffees, I do filled rolls and a daily lunchtime special. My shepherd's pie on a Friday always pulls in a good queue.
Where would you rather be?
Altinkum in Turkey.
What's so special about it?
I like to sit at a bar called Ikbal which is run buy a lovely man called Ali who sells amazing cakes full of fresh cream and fruit.
What would you do there?
I'd go to the area of beach where all the Turkish people sit. I love the way they interact with their families, sitting around and singing while the older people walk around selling sweetcorn, bread and tea.
Who would you take with you?
My other half - and favourite cabbie - Jim.
What's the one place you'd like to see before you die?
Australia for at least three months. I can't begin to compute how vast it is.

Following is a summary of freelance writing rates that I've collected and distilled over the past decade that I've worked as a freelance writer and editor. This is the list I first refer to when clients contact me, followed by a more personal list that I keep. I also refer to a list of payment ranges that I've publicly posted on my website.

The ranges detailed here are for beginning writers/editors (no or little experience) who are in a low cost-of-living area, all the way to experienced writer/editors, and those who may adjust their rates based on their location (or their client's location) in a higher cost-of-living area.

Of course, as with every article about rates and pay, have caution. Every client and project has several factors which may account for some differences and discrepancies in rates and payments.

If you need further advice and reference past this list, I often refer new freelancers to the Editorial Freelancers Association, as they keep a similar list on their site. In addition, there are now several apps and websites that can help contractors set rates or budgets. One additional reference that writers may want to check is bid sites, such as Upwork.com. Although you can often see what a project has cost an employer, keep in mind that bid sites often (but not always) pay on the lower end of the scale. Lastly, I provide many articles in my finances and money section which are aimed at helping freelancers to figure out what they're worth and what clients are likely to pay.

A comparative description of two farmer-managed irrigation systems in Nepal

The organization of two farmer-managed irrigation systems in the western hills of Nepal is described by examining the ways in which the activities of water allocation, water distribution, maintenance, and resource mobilization are performed. Due to the topography and environment, these two organizations are structured primarily to mobilize the large amount of labor required for maintenance of the intake and canal. Both organizations precisely define each member's water allocation. In one system, water is allocated in proportion to the area of an individual's land holding, while in the other water allocation is by purchased shares. These two cases were used to analyze the importance of the principle of water allocation for expansion of area irrigated and equity of access to irrigation. Evidence from the two systems shows that in this hill environment water allocation by purchased shares provides the individual incentive and an organizational mechanism for efficient development of irrigation resources. Expansion of area irrigated and equity of access to irrigation were found to be greater in the system which allocates water by purchased shares than where water was allocated in proportion to area irrigated.

"How much does it cost to climb Mount Everest?" This is a popular question I get after a speaking engagement. The short answer is a car or at least $30,000 but most people pay about $45,000.
This completely new 2017 post introduces new options for climbers, a look at new rules, a chart of current offers and serious answers to serious questions plus a few survey questions where you can weigh in with your thoughts in addition to making a thoughtful comment.

- Guide Options
- Why Everest?
- Everest Pictures and Video
Big Picture
The headline for 2017 is that all expedition prices crept higher but climbing from China saw a huge 22% increase. The permits for a medium size team of four or more climbers increased from $7,000/climber to $9,950/climber or 34%.
The price range for a standard supported climb ranges from $28,000 to $85,000. A fully custom climb will run over $115,000 and those extreme risk takers can skimp by for well under $20,000.
Over the past few years, the low cost Nepali operators were getting a foothold in the market by competing on price but now realize they were leaving money on the table and are starting to increase their prices. That said, they will make you a deal unlike most western operators.
Guided climbs on Everest is like any competitive marketplace. In other words driven by supply and demand and the demand is huge! As I've noted for years now, more and more Everest climbers are coming from India and China adding to the historic demand from the Americas, Europe and Southeast Asia. Meeting that demand are many Nepal based guides. China is making huge moves to capitalize on the tourist demands from their own country which will add to the crowding. With this year's permit increase they are paving the way to reduce the difference with Nepal.
Bottom line: Look for Everest to become more crowded and more expensive over the next five years.
Everest 2016 Review
The 2016 spring climbing season on Everest, from both sides, was about as normal as it gets these days. 640 people summited – half being Sherpa support. Five people died – lower than the average of eight deaths each season since 2000. The weather was good so there were many suitable summit days however crowds still formed behind a few very large and slow teams resulting in an unusually high number of frostbite cases.
If there was a lesson from 2016, get out quick, climb fast and don't look back.
Reality television once again took over Nepal with several independent camera crews chasing locals and climbers in trouble hoping to get them on camera and then sell the clips to the highest bidder. Some crews promoted themselves in the name of selfless philanthropy but it was more like ambulance chasing. My understanding was that some of the victims were given free services in exchange for rights to their story.
In any event, I hope the good outweighed the profit but it is time for this type of activity to end, imho.
Everest 2017 Outlook
A leading indicator of the interest in Everest is the autumn season. In 2016 it was crowded on the "attainable" 8000 meter peaks of Manaslu and Cho Oyu. This suggests we will see record Everest 2017 crowds.
Encouraging the crowds are the permit extensions after the premature endings due to politics and the earthquakes. The $11,000 Nepal permit in 2014 was extended to 2019 and the $7,000 permits from China in 2015 to 2018 . With those permits expiring, climbers are anxious to save money. Long time operators are reducing their prices by the permit fee indicating their confidence that Nepal will follow thru this time.
The Nepal Ministry of Tourism, even under new leadership, continued their annual press release of announcing changes to make Everest safer. The latest edition citied that all permit holders must hire guides, restricting helicopters above base camp except for rescues, banning climbers with disabilities or older than 75 and finally requiring all Everest climbers must have summited a 7,000 meter in Nepal to obtain a Nepal 8000 meter climbing permit. I seriously doubt any of this will be enforced for 2017. You can read about these on my post along with my opinion on the merits and feasibility.
Where Does My Money Go?
There are four major components to any Everest climb regardless of climbing from Nepal or Tibet: travel, permits/insurance, supplies/gear and guides. The following discussion breaks down the expenses as if an individual wanted to climb without joining a team but almost no one does this as the numbers will show – it is just too expensive or risky.
1. Travel $500 – $10,125
The travel costs are entirely dependent on where you live and how you like to travel. It can range from a few hundred dollars to over $7,000 to fly to Nepal. Most people use Thai, Turkish, Qatar, Air India, or China Eastern to reach Nepal.
Once in Kathmandu, you need to fly to Lukla or Lhasa to start the journey to base camp, so add in add a few hundred dollars for this air fare.
From Lukla in Nepal, its takes a little over a week to trek to base camp. Add in food and lodging along the way for you and your support team. This can total between $400 to $1,000 per person again depending on your style and how many beers you have. Teahouses have dramatically increased their prices in the Khumbu. Long gone are the $5 nights. To save money, climbers can always camp in their tents.
Not only do you have to get yourself to base camp but also all your gear – tents, food, oxygen, etc. Most people use porters and yaks costing at least $20 per day per load, so this usually totals over a thousand dollars. Large operators will hire helicopters and the expense is bundled into the overall price.
On the Tibet side, you save some money by driving all the way to base camp and this is included in your climbing permit. The China Tibet Mountaineering Association (CTMA) will meet you where you arrive in China and never leave you the entire expedition. This is more about monitoring than supporting.
Travel $2,425 – $8,325
- Airfare $1500 to $7000 depending on class and routing and excess baggage
- Transportation Kathmandu to Lukla $325 round trip per person
- Hotel and food in Kathmandu $300 to $700 depending on delays
- Nepal Visa $100
- Immunizations $200
Getting to EBC $1,240 – $1,800
- Yaks to and from Base Camp $40 per yak per day carrying 120 lbs, (4 yaks for 4 days minimum or $640)
- Extra Yak in China is $300/Yak
- Porters to and from Base Camp $20 per porter per day carrying 60 lbs (3 porters for 6 days minimum or $360)
- Tea Houses and food on trek to EBC $20 – $100/person/day – 7 days $140 – $700
- Park Fee $100/team
2. Permits and Insurance $9,950 – $29,500
The permit cost is fixed at $11,000 per climber from Nepal. In Nepal, the permit fee simply gives permission to climb, whereas in Argentina for Aconcagua or Alaska for Denali, the $800 or $365 permit, respectively, also covers helicopter evacuation, maintaining high altitude ranger camps, hiring seasonal staff, providing mountaineering information, and keeping the mountain environment clean.
Nepal requires using a local company to organize your permit at a cost of $2,500 for the team, a refundable trash deposit of $4,000 for the team plus a Liaison Officer costing $3,000 per team. These total $9,500 BEFORE the $11,000 per person climbing permit. So before you hire guides, yaks food or gear you must come up with almost $20,000 in Nepal.
Nepal implemented in 2013 a new rule that requires every foreign climber in Nepal to hire a local Sherpa Guide. While very unclear how or if this rule is enforced for every operator, it adds a minimum of $4,000 to the absolute lowest cost. In late 2016, several climbers ignored these rules for first ascents are are now under investigation by the Nepal authorities.
Most guide companies on the Nepal side will require at least evacuation insurance and most require medical coverage. One of the best investments you can make is to add trip cancellation to the policy. In both 2014 and 2015 when the Everest season ended early, those with trip cancellation/interruption coverage had 100% of their trip expenses reimbursed.
Travelex is a popular choice. To save money, joining the American Alpine Club will provide $5,000 evacuation coverage through Global Rescue however most people upgrade that basic coverage. With all these policies you must follow their rules exactly or you will not be covered – and I mean exactly, one misstep and you are not covered.
UPDATE: I have an update from the first post that the Chinese are now asking USD $9,950 per person for the permit for teams of 4 or more. If the team is one to three members it skyrockets to $19,500 per person. This price includes, transportation from the entry point to base camp, hotels, liaison officer, trash fee, five yaks in and four yaks out per member. There is an extra charge of $200 per day per person for time spent in Lhasa.
This increase effectively eliminates a low cost, single person climb from Tibet for under $20,000.
If you want to bring a Nepal Sherpa to climb with you in Tibet, budget an additional $3,300 for each Sherpa's "work permit" as required by the CTMA plus their salary of $5,000.
The Tibet side is more complicated for evacuation insurance since the rope fixers do some rescues but mostly it is climbers helping climbers and helicopters are not allowed. The insurance would most likely begin coverage once you got back to Lhasa or Kathmandu. It would be wise to double check everything with your provider to understand the details.
Climbing Fees $20,600 – $25,650 (Nepal)
- Nepal Agency fee $2,500 per team (usually included in total price from a guide)
- Nepalese Liaison Officer $3,000/team (usually included in total price from a guide)
- South Base Camp Medical support from EverestER $100/person
- Nepal permit $11,000 for each climber regardless of team size
- Chinese permit $9,950 per each climber for teams of 4+ otherwise $19,500/person, $3,300 for each Nepali Sherpa
- Nepal garbage and human waste deposit $4,000/team permit (refundable but not always)
- Icefall Doctors to fix route $2,500/team or $600 per climber
- Contribution to fixed ropes above Icefall $150/climber, higher on Tibet side
- Weather forecast $0 to $1,000
- Puja $300
Insurance $70 – $3,000
- Evacuation Insurance $70 (American Alpine Club) – ~$500 (Global Rescue/TravelEx)
- Medical only $500
- Rescue Insurance for any reason with medical insurance and trip cancellation coverage – $3,000 (TravelEx)
- Private pay helicopter evacuation from Everest South – $5,000 – $20,000 depending on start and end locations (not available on north)
- All insurance figures are representative and will vary widely with age, length of trip and total cost.
3. Supplies/Gear $ 800 – $29,450
You will need to eat, stay warm and 97% of all Everest summiteers used supplemental oxygen.
You can cook your own food but most people use a Nepali cook and helpers at $5,000 for base camp and budget about $800 per person for food and fuel while climbing Everest over a six week period.
Supplemental oxygen runs about $550 per bottle with a minimum of 5 bottles totaling $2,750. But you will also need a mask at $450 and a regulator at $450. You can carry your own extra oxygen to the high camps, but most people use the Sherpas to cache them at the high camps. When hiring a personal Sherpa, the standard is for him to climb on oxygen, albeit at a lower flow rate, so this will run an additional $2,000.
Finally, you will need climbing gear including boots, down suit, clothing layers, gloves, sleeping bags, packs and more. This will cost at least $7,000 if you buy everything new. High altitude boots from La Sportiva or Millet run $1,000, a full down suit from Feathered Friends or Mountain Hardwear is over $1,000 and a sleeping bag rated to -20F is at least $500.
Misc $7,750 – $13,000 – $17,000
- Full Medical kit $500 – $1,000 – add $2,000 for Gamow Bag
- Sherpas, cooks tips and bonus $250 – $2,000++ per individual depending on performance and summit
- Personal Gear (down suit, high altitude boots, sleeping bags, etc): $7,000
- Satellite phone (own) $1,000 to $3,000 depending on usage
- Gear allowance for Sherpas $2,000
EBC and High Camps $3,800 – $8,800
- Tents $3,000 new (sleeping, cooking, toilet, storage at 4 camps for 3 people)
- Cooks $5,000 per cook and assistant for 6 weeks
- Food and fuel $800 per person for 6 weeks
Climbing Support $3,650 – $8,650
- Oxygen $550/bottle (5 bottles) $2,750 (doesn't include costs to take to high camps)
- Oxygen Mask (Summit Oxygen) $450
- Oxygen Regulator $450
- Climbing Sherpa $5,000 per Personal Sherpa with oxygen at $2,000
4. Logistics (guide) $30,000 – $85,000
With all the previous costs broken out, you can join a fully supported or guided team that takes care of everything.
For decades, western operators like Adventure Consultants, Alpine Ascents (AAI), Jagged Globe, Himalayan Experience (Himex), International Mountain Guides (IMG) and others have guided hundreds to the top of Everest for prices ranging from $40,000 to $65,000, all inclusive.
But that is changing. In the last few years, there has been intense competition from Nepali owned and operated companies. With many Sherpas having ten or more summits of Everest, they are advertising themselves as Everest Guides and eliminating the traditional Western Guide who would be paid between $10,000 and $25,000 and this cost savings is passed on to the clients.
This, along with sometimes paying less than market wages to Sherpas, cooks and porters, the Nepali operators offer climbs that are half to a third of traditional western operators. In 2014, Seven Summits Treks, reportedly offered their Everest expedition for as low as $18,000 per climber. For 2017, they are offering a climb from Nepal at $30,000.
But times are changing! Many of the lead sherpas are now UIAGM certified with more summits than many of the Western guides.
Dreamers Destination has increased their price to climb from Everest in Nepal from $36,000 to $50,000. The owner, Mingma Gyalje Sherpa is building on his successful expeditions to Annapurna, Everest and K2 to attract western clients. in November 2016, he organized a successful first ascent in Nepal for American clients.
Similarly, the Nepal based agency that used to organize Everest expeditions for Altitude Junkies, who has stop guiding on Everest due to the crowds, competition and other factors, Expedition Himalaya run by Navin Tirtal is offering Everest from Nepal at $35,000.
The last example I will give is TAGnepal owned and run by Tendi Shepa. He is an an IFMGA/UIAGM Certified Mountain Guide with 11 successful summits of Everest and climbs in the Himalaya, Europe (Alps), South America (Andes) and China. In addition, he is also a high altitude rescue professional. He took rescue training on Longline Helicopter rescue in 2011 at Sion, Switzerland. He is running a north side expedition in 2017 for $52,000 and from Nepal for $55,000.
If you want every perk and luxury you can imagine on a Himalayan peak in 2017, Alpenglow unapologetically offers a climb from the Tibet side for an astonishing $85,000 per climber, twice to three times the average price on the north side. They have a high western guide ratio, and include pre-acclimatizing in an altitude tent at home.
The median price of the companies I surveyed for 2017 (not exhaustive) looks to be about:
- Sherpa Guided climb from Nepal: $46,750 up 6% from 2016
- Western Guided climb from Nepal: $65,000 up 4.7% from 2016
- Sherpa Guided climb from Tibet: $39,980 up 22% from 2016
For your own personal Western Guide, International Mountain Guides will set you up for $114,000. To climb with RMI and Dave Hahn (15 times summiter) in a 1-1 ratio will cost well over $115,000
With all this as background, I used public websites and my own research to compile the 2017 Everest fees from the major Everest guide companies. I looked back at their 2016 summit rates and historical numbers where available. This is not a complete list of all guides and I did not look at small one person operations or those who do not run climbs each year for more than one or two clients. No endorsement is implied by inclusion on this list and is to be used for reference only. Check with the operator for details and questions.
N/A = not offered, * full logistics support, gear, food, Personal Sherpa, oxygen, mask and regulator
You can see my thoughts on Everest guides on my main site at Selecting a Guide.
Who Guides on Everest?
Anyone can call themselves a guide in Nepal, however there are three options for supported climbs: Sherpa supported, Sherpa guided and a western (foreign) guided commercial expedition. All leverage group costs such as deposits, cooks and tents across multiple climbers. Let's look at them in detail:
Sherpa Supported Expedition
Please note this is Sherpa supported, not guided.
For about $35,000, you can climb on a Sherpa supported expedition on the south side. This is one where a company organizes all the logistics: food, group gear, transportation plus Sherpa support but does not provide traditional western guides or, in some case, even a lead Sherpa guide. The Sherpas may or may not speak English very well and will most likely follow your lead as to pushing forward or turning back.
A Sherpa will climb with you on summit night but you might be on your own with random teammates throughout the rest of the acclimatization climbing process, including preparing meals at the high camps. It is quite common to find yourself climbing only with a Sherpa or even alone. The Sherpas may have attended climbing school but will usually lack basic medical training and may not be of significant help in a health crisis other than getting you lower which is substantial.
Asian Trekking specializes in this style of climb and is very good. Seven Summits Treks is another option at a lower costs and many small one-man companies offer even lower prices. Look to pay in the mid $35,000 for this option. This is a good option for the climber with significant high altitude experience including previously on Everest. It is not for the novice or first timer on an 8000 meter peak.
Sherpa Guided Expedition
Please note this is Sherpa guided, not supported.
International Mountain Guide's (IMG) Classic Everest climb is a Sherpa guided expedition that has an experienced Sherpa lead climbers through the route. IMG ask $44,000 for this model. Usually they depend on a Sirdar (a highly experienced senior Sherpa) to make the big decisions such as when to go for the summit or when to turn-around.
As previously mentioned, TAGnepal has IFMGA/UIAGM Certified Mountain Guides and runs a south climb for $55,000 and a north for $52,000. The line between Sherpa guide, Western guided is quickly becoming blurred.
A variation on this approach is to hire a Personal Sherpa. These Sherpas have gained significant experience and training in dealing one to one with western clients. Their English skills are usually very good but similar to a Sherpa supported, they may lack medical training but you will never climb alone.
While they will not carry your gear, they may offload some items from time to time. They will be with you exclusively on your summit night even if you turn around before the summit. This style is appropriate for climbers with previous 8000 meter experience, unusually strong, but again not for the novice. Expect to pay an additional $5K to $7K for a Personal Sherpa plus another 5% to 20% in tips and bonuses.
What do I get when I hire a Western Guide?
The western guided expeditions are 'full service' trips and are most appropriate for first time Everest climbers or anyone looking for a bit more support. The cost vary widely ranging from $55K to $85K. This includes all the services of a Sherpa guided climb plus sharing one or more western guides. If you want your own personal western guide, expect to pay $110K or more, plus tips and bonuses.
The major point of this approach is you are climbing in close proximity to a western guide who most likely has several summits of Everest under his/her harness. There is no language barrier and the guide will make all the decisions as to turn around times, weather and manage emergencies.
On these higher-end expeditions, you should have a high quality of food ranging from better prepared to exotic. One service likes to promote their sushi, another their 5 Star chef. Then there are espresso machines, open bars – in other words the sky's the limit, all at a cost.
The most expensive guide companies (Adventure Consultants, AAI, Alpenglow, Himex, etc) almost always come with several western guides and you never climb alone.
Let's look deeper at a few questions.
Do I have to take the standard routes?
No. You can get a permit to climb any of the 30 named routes on Everest or make up your own. If you want to traverse from Nepal to Tibet or the other way, you will need to get permits from both countries and China has refused to issue permission from their side for many years now.
Can I Climb Everest Alone?
No. The Nepal Ministry of Tourism requires every climber to hire a Sherpa guide. The CTMA has a similar requirement. But like everything around Everest, there are exceptions.
What is the minimum I can spend to climb Everest?
As previously addressed, it is almost impossible to climb Everest completely alone on the standard route. However, you can climb independent with no oxygen, Sherpa or cook support but using ladders and ropes on the south side. For one person this would cost at least $20,000 from Nepal, a bit less from China. Even splitting group expenses the base costs add up to $26,000 each for a 7 person team.
When you add in oxygen and base camp support, a one-person climb with Sherpa support approaches $45,000 but a 7 person team leveraging the group costs comes in at $37,000. By climbing from Tibet, you can save a few thousand dollars.
Old timers will brag about climbing Everest in the early 2000s or before for $5,000. Even then this price assumed no support, no oxygen, not contributing to the fixed ropes or ladders, no weather forecasting, etc. This post assumes most people want to climb in a relatively comfortable style and not eat rice every meal for six weeks.
Previously, you might of found a way to climb Everest from the north side for about $10,000 thru shortcuts, eliminating all support, oxygen and having almost no room for mistakes or unexpected events, but all that changed in 2017 with an individual permit now costing almost $10,000 alone. Still you might be able to climb from that side for under $15,000. Obviously I don't recommend this approach for anyone.
What is the difference between a $30K and $65K Everest Climb?
There is a real difference in offerings by some companies and very little with others, so it's up to the climber to shop wisely.
The general rule is that the lower the price, the larger the team. At the high end, it is often profit, overhead, and number of western guides. Also how many services are bundled into one single price versus offered as options. The lowest price outfits promote a low price and then offer "options" such as oxygen, Sherpa support or even food above base camp. One UK based outfitter offers a low price for the north side, but does not include oxygen, summit bonuses or other options almost everyone includes in their base price.
Another common practice to keep expedition costs low is to pay support staff the absolute minimum whereas the guide companies pay a livable wage for their entire team. But often it is the availability of resources: extra Sherpas, back up supplies (ropes, tents, oxygen bottles, etc), medical facilities, communications and profit and overhead for the operator. One well known low-cost operator had their tents destroyed one year, had no back up and had to beg other operators for spares … they also ran out of food.
An example of price confusion are Sherpas bonuses. A low price service may not include a bonus whereas another may. For example, one Nepali company asks the climber to pay $1,500 to their Sherpa if they reach the South Col and another $500 if they leave for the summit. This is not shown as part of the base price. But a different company includes these bonuses in their overall package. In both cases it is customary to tip your Sherpa, and western guide, an additional amount.
How many people have summited Everest?
The Grand Dame of all Everest statistics, Ms. Elizabeth Hawley reports on the Himalayan Database that there have been 7,646 summits of Everest through June 2016 on all routes by 4,469 different people.
1,015 people, mostly Sherpa, have summited multiple times. The Nepal side is more popular with 4,863 summits compared to 2,783 summits from the Tibet side. 14 climbers have traversed from one side to the other.
How Safe is Everest?
282 people (168 westerners and 114 Sherpas) have died on Everest from 1924 to June 2016. 70 climbers have died on the descent from the summit.
Everest is actually getting safer even though more people are now climbing. From 1923 to 1999: 170 people died on Everest with 1,169 summits or 14.5%. But the deaths drastically declined from 2000 to 2016 with 6,421 summits and 112 deaths or 1.7%. However, two years skewed the deaths rates with 17 in 2014 and 19 in 2015. The reduction in deaths is primarily due to better gear, weather forecasting and more people climbing with commercial operations.
Annapurna remains the most deadly 8000 meter mountain with one death for almost every three summits (71:255) or 28% thru 2016. Cho Oyu is the safest of the 8000 meter mountains with about 50 deaths for over 3,508 summits or 1.4%. Each year more people die in the European Alps than on Everest.
Team size is a safety consideration. If you are climbing with a small or a thinly staffed team, there is the possibility of not having adequate resources to help you. It is a serious and sometime fatal mistake to believe that Everest is so crowded that someone will always be around to give aid if needed. Remember that each person is struggling to survive on their own, including the Sherpas, and may not have the strength to help regardless of their desire.
The bottom line is that teams who charge more or field a large team will generally have more resources available to support their clients.
Which side should I climb, north or south?
Both sides have a lot to offer: Tibet with the mystery of Mallory and Irvine in 1924 and Nepal with the first summit by Hillary and Norgay in 1953.
The comparison between sides is pretty simple. The north is colder, windier and some feel technically harder since you climb on exposed rock. The south has the Khumbu Icefall which some now fear.
The Nepalese side has seen 176 deaths through June 2016 or 3.7% and 106 deaths or 3.8% on the Tibet side. Most bodies are still on the mountain but China has made a large effort to remove many bodies from sight. The top causes of death were from a fall, avalanche, exposure and altitude sickness.
640 people summited in spring 2016 from both sides: 199 from Tibet and 441 from Nepal. There were 5 deaths – all on the south.
The Tibet side is less crowded as the Nepal side has seen 4,863 summits compared to 2,783 summits from Tibet. However most long time guides still prefer the Nepal side as it is well known, more politically stable than China and with exceptions, safer as measured by summit to death ratio. Many climbers feel the trek through the Khumbu is a key part of any Everest climb.
Prior to 2014, the death rate was a bit less on the North side at 106 compared to 140 on the South. But with 16 Sherpas killed in the Khumbu Icefall in 2014 and 19 people at base camp in 2015, the South now has almost two thirds of the 282 total deaths on Everest. In 1922, 7 Sherpas were killed on the North side from an avalanche.
Taking a long term perspective, the numbers show that both sides are equally dangerous. The Nepalese side has seen 4,863 summits with 176 deaths through June 2016 or 3.7%. The Tibet side has seen 2,783 summits with 106 deaths through June 2016. or 3.8%
When choosing sides, keep in mind that as of 2017, China does not allow helicopter rescues on their side. That might change by 2020 as they are planning to build a massive Mountaineering Center at base camp to cater to tourist and have said they will start helicopter rescues as part of the center.
One can cherry pick the numbers to prove almost any point on which side is safe, but the bottom line is death happens on both sides of Everest and it often comes down to being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Should I Use Supplemental Oxygen?
If you choose not to, you will be in a tiny group. Of the 7,646 summits, only 197 climbers summited without supplemental oxygen through June 2016, or about 2.5%. But more critically, of the 282 deaths, 109 died attempting to summit without using supplemental oxygen or 38%.
Supplemental oxygen gives the body a 3,000 foot advantage. In other words, when the climber is at 28,000 feet, the body feels like it is at 25,000 feet. The main benefit of supplemental oxygen is that you feel warmer thus allowing the heart to pump blood, and oxygen to fingers and toes thus reducing the risk of frostbite.
Many people feel superior not using supplemental oxygen but climbing Everest should not be about ego – poor judgment and unnecessary risks can cost you your life. As mentioned, 2.5% climb without supplemental oxygen but 38% of the deaths are those who climbed without supplemental oxygen.
How Do I Pay for an Everest Climb?
Getting the money is almost always harder than climbing Everest. Climbers become very creative when finding money. Some take out loans, refinance their home mortgage, others have the infamous "rich uncle". Then there are those who set up a website to sell t-shirts or ask for "donations" from strangers. Believe it or not, this actually works to raise some money but rarely enough to cover all the expenses.
But the most common way to fund an Everest climb is to make it a priority in your budget by setting money aside each month for as long as it takes. This is how I funded 26 of my big climbs since starting at age 38.
The question of obtaining a sponsor often comes up. It is extremely difficult to get on a sponsored team for example by one of the large outdoor gear companies. There are ways to obtain a sponsor but it takes years of work, a solid plan, proven experience and often comes down to who you know and a lot of luck.
Climbing for a charity or a cause is popular but be careful not to use your cause as a way to fund a climb. This is a poor practice to ask for donations to pay for a climb in my opinion.

What are my Chances?
Historically about 60% of all expeditions have put at least one member on the summit. The Himalayan Database shows that 48% of climbers who go higher than base camp summit.
In recent years, long time western operators like Jagged Globe, Adventure Consultants, Madison Mountaineering and others regularly put almost every member on the summit. Today operators use the standard routes so there are less unknowns. That along with improved weather forecasting, and extra supplemental oxygen and generous Sherpa support have made Everest one of the safest 8000 meter mountains and the most summited 8000er by a huge margin.
Why Everest?
Let's wrap up with why even climb Everest at all? It is very popular to criticize anyone who has or is planning a climb. Jon Krakauer's book Into Thin Air, set a negative tone and profiled climbers as rich, inexperienced and selfish after his one climb in 1996. In my experience with six climbs on Everest or Lhotse, the opposite is today's reality.
To be fair, in recent years, the marketing of low cost expeditions is attracting inexperienced climbers. This is all about supply and demand. All the puffery from the Nepal government about making Everest safer will have zero impact on this because all involved benefit from the profit.
If you want to attempt the world's highest peak, do the work: get the proper experience, train your body to be in "Everest Shape" and prepare your mind to push yourself harder than you ever thought possible. Select a team that matches your experience, be smart, be humble and savor every moment.
I summarized my thoughts on a recent post of "I want to climb Everest"
Climbing Everest is not easy. It is not for beginners. It is not to be rushed. Climbing Everest is a privilege. It is a right that should be earned.
When you fly into Kathmandu, you may see Everest out your window. It is at the same level as your airplane is flying. Let that sink in.
Climbing Everest is hard. It tests you in ways you never knew possible. You will understand that several months after you get home – regardless of your result
So, yes climbing Mount Everest, Chomolungma, Sagarmatha or Peak XV is life changing. Climb with confidence that you are prepared, knowledgable and with a clear sense of purpose.
If you summit, it will change your life. If you attempt it, it will change your life. But no matter the results, the experience is what you take away – not the summit.
Research, train, prepare and climb with confidence. The reward is worth the pain. The summit is worth the cost.
Climbing Everest can change your life.
Climb On!

Alan Arnette is the oldest American to summit K2 in 2014 and has 6 expeditions on Everest or Lhotse with a summit of Everest in 2011. He climbs to raise money and awareness of Alzheimer's disease.
His Project 8000 is to climb the 8000 meter mountains he has not summited over the next 5 years. He is seeking sponsors for that project where he will reach 100 million people and raise $5 million for research and caregiver support.
One Response to "How Much Does it Cost to Climb Mount Everest? – 2017 Edition"
I wanted to thank you for the information and details in your article. I have adapted it and made a killer lesson plan for my freshmen world geography students AND my sophomore economics class. We are creating our own budgets to climb and learning trade-offs, opportunity cost, and scarcity. My freshmen will take it one step further and take fake pictures of themselves at the summit for use in their "scrapbooks." I had one student tell me his dream really is to climb tall mountains one day and he is really into this project.
Hope all of your climbs are as successful as my lesson!
