This is my fifth time that I have summitted Mera Peak while leading groups for The Mountain Company, each year I have been very lucky to work with the same team of Sherpas. I would like thank our sirdar Pemba Tamang (double Everest summitter plus Manaslu and Shishapangma) and his brother Nurbu Tamang as well as climbing Sherpas Ngima Dorje Tamang and Rana Magar.
