In 2004, I attempted Everest from the North side. Due to extremely bad weather and being stormbound at 7800m the team did not summit. However, myself and another team member, Paul Noble, did make it to a high point of 8000m before descending. See the pictures. You can also read the dispatches sent from BC and ABC leading up to the summit bid.
