Is My Everest still Up?

Just wondering as I have emailed Paul about setting up a page for Aconcauga, Denali, Cho Oyu 2010 and never heard back.

Paul Adler — Sun, 08/16/2009 - 23:35It's most definitely still up. Your email about climbing Aconcagua, Denali & Cho Oyu next year was sent 5 hours ago, and I will respond to you via email today. Please remember that MyEverest.com is a free service, so I can only assist people in my spare time.

Goggles for near sighted
Lars — Tue, 12/29/2009 - 18:11Hi Paul,
On photos you seem to wear glasses. I'd like to hear what you recommend at high altitude when conditions call for goggles. At home I wear glasses (near sighted, corr -2.25). But in the mountains (I've been to Cho Oyu twice) I fail in finding an eye protection system that works. In dry and non-windy conditions I use Adidas Climacool glacier glasses that have double lenses: a 95% glacier lense, and a prescription lense that clips on behind. This works quite well, since any humidity on the lenses is ventilated away. However, when conditions are windy (and usually more humid) I wear goggles, but wearing a second lense under these makes them foggy. This leaves me with three alternatives: 1) use contact lenses (a hassle); 2) get a eye operation (risky); or 3) find prescription goggles (do they exist?). What's your experience here? Regards, Lars
Goggles with fan for people with glasses
Paul Adler — Tue, 12/29/2009 - 19:16Hi Lars,
I can well understand your problem trying to find googles that won't fog up when used with glasses. I use googles with a fan in them - Smith Knowledge OTG Turbo Fan. These work very well at ensuring your glasses don't fog up, however the pair I have don't have great UV protection, so they need to be worn over sunglasses when at high altitude.
I presume that you are already using googles designed to go over glasses (OTG). This will help as there will be more space and hence airflow around your glasses.
Regards,
Paul.
