Just a quick update having received another awesome testimonial:
"I have been on two expeditions with Tim, to Ama Dablam in 2009 and Everest in 2013. I would wholeheartedly recommend him as an expedition leader.
The fact that Tim is an incredibly strong mountaineer is self evident (4 Everest summits and counting), and the high summit rates for clients on his expeditions speak for themselves, but it's the things that go on behind the scenes that might not be so apparent if you haven't been away with him before - his planning is meticulous, his logistical skills are second to none, he communicates well before the expedition and during it, and he leads with a style that generates respect for his decisions. Even when the weather's not playing ball, you can rest assured that when it comes to timing for the summit push you will be in the right place at the right time.
As a doctor, I was highly impressed by Tim's medical acumen - I think it was testament to his planning that during our Everest expedition not a single member suffered with altitude sickness over the entire trip. I was also very impressed that everyone was given potentially life-saving dexamethasone injections to carry, and that Tim taught the Sherpas how to use them too.
Personally, one of the things I value the most about Tim is his sense of humour. You can guarantee that even when things get tough, Tim will be able to lighten the mood, which on long expeditions makes all the difference.
If anyone is thinking of signing up with Tim, I would be more than happy to be contacted for a recommendation."

I think that just about says it all.
Oh, and I've just had the most awesome few days out with a chap coming along to Ama Dablam this November as well as picking up another 2 bookings last week. The first trip (3rd Nov - 30th Nov KTM - KTM) is almost full but there are still a few places available on the second trip (10th Nov - 7th Dec KTM - KTM). So if you are interested you need to get in touch sharpish.
I've also received another 2 enquiries for Everest 2014 and 2015 as well as having a healthy mailing list for 2016 and a client I am getting trained up for 2017. So it looks like I'll be there for some time yet.
As ever I'll endeavour to keep the blog updates / Tweets and FaceBook posts coming whilst we are away. I hope that you enjoy the show.
Cheers - Tim
