Colin’s wife, Jenna, will be accompanying Colin on the Everest expedition. She plans to climb Lobuche East (20,075ft) and as high as Everest Camp 2. The original plan for returning to Everest was for the two to attempt to summit together from the North Side (China/Tibet) in the spring of 2020. COVID-19 had other plans. With the continued Chinese travel restrictions making the North Side of Everest inaccessible to foreigners during the pandemic, as well as the recent K2 tragedy, Jenna has elected to not make a summit attempt on Everest this year. Instead, Colin will attempt the Everest-Lhotse traverse.
