Sir Chris Bonington comments on announcement of HRH The Prince of Wales announced as President of the Sherpa Heritage Museum Project

Sir Chris Bonington comments:

“It will be quite something to bring the protagonists from that epic on the Ogre together again. Although it all took place 30 years ago, I remember the events as clearly as ever. This will be a wonderful opportunity to raise some valuable funds for the Sherpa Heritage Museum which is playing such an important role in preserving Sherpa traditions.

Everyone involved with the Sherpa Heritage Museum is absolutely delighted that The Prince of Wales has agreed to be President. His Royal Highness is clearly and genuinely passionate about conservation and understands the importance of preserving traditions such as those of the Sherpas. Pertemba Sherpa and I are very grateful for his support and generous donation to the cause.”
