Remembering the 2006 Filipino Mt. Everest Season

In 2006, all our eyes were fixed on the TV screen, anxiously waiting for the drama to unfold on this pyramid of black rock. By May 19, three Filipinos have stood on top of the highest mountain in the world, providing the spark for the Pinoy outdoor community to dream big again.
