Two-time World Extreme Ski Champion Maegan Carney is attempting to do what no American and no woman has ever done - climb the South Col route on Mt. Everest and then make a complete ski descent back to base camp. Carney is climbing with four-time Everest summitter Wally Berg and his team from Berg Adventures. Carney's latest campaign is a culmination of years spent skiing new routes on some of the world's most difficult mountain terrain. But, none will compare to the challenge she will face on the South Col route.

Regular reports will be sent from Mt. Everest, so check out the dispatches to follow her progress...
