I posted about this a few weeks back, but since it's such a cool project/expedition, I thought I'd point out another source for more info. MountainZone.com as this article up about the Everest Peace Project .
You'll recall, that this is the climbing team made of of people from several different countries and religions, who hope to show the world that they can all get along while working together to summit the highest mountain on Earth. According to this article, the team will arrive in Nepal on April 4th, and travel to Tibet as a team on April 8th. Obviously they intend to scale Everest from the Tibetan side, with the hopes of their accomplishing their goal in late May or early June. A typical Everest expedition lasts in the neighborhood of 50+ days, depending on weather, traffic on the mountain, travel schedules, etc.
As the team takes to the mountain, hopefully we can get updates from the website. As new information becomes available, I'll post it here. I wish them the best of luck in their attempt on the summit.
