Maegan On the March: Maegan Carney should today be at Camp 3 (23, 500 feet) on her attempt to climb and ski Everest. Weather is holding, and Wally Berg and his team still hope to get her to the summit on October 22 (Wednesday). After that, she will be on her own for the world’s longest ski run. In her latest dispatch, Carney says that the rest of the team will head back to Camp 4 after summitting, while she will tackle Lhotse Face, 5,000 feet of vertical at a pitch of 45 to 52 degrees. Gulp. Carney admits being a little nervous about the fact that she’ll only see about three-quarters of the terrain she’ll be sliding down up close for the for the first time while she is skiing. Ummm, good luck with that…..
