As it was approaching the 70th anniversary of RAFLossiemouth, the Mountaineering Club looked to find asuitable expedition to both celebrate the event and tochallenge the club in both planning and execution. TheHimalayas has always been the ultimate destination for themajority of aspiring climbers and was a clear choice for themembers. Mera Peak, a 6400m trekking peak in the Makalu

Barun National Park ofNepal, matched all ofthe requirements of re-moteness, altitude,technical difficulty andaffordability and onceselected, the expeditionplanning began inearnest early in 2008.

Out of a group ofaround 30 applicants a

team of 12 was selected as expedition members based ontheir experience, ability, fitness, availability and what skills theycould bring along to increase the chance of success in theendeavour. Not all of those selected had been to altitudebefore and so training was carried out in the Alps in thesummer of 2009 to give those who required it experience inhigh altitude walking, rope work and crevasse rescue.

The expedition set off on Thursday 15th Oct 2009 whichis in the middle of the Nepalese post monsoon period andalthough this was the autumn and getting cold it wouldprovide a few weeks of settled dry weather. The team travelledto Kathmandu where we met Lakpa Tenji Sherpa, ourNepalese Sirdar, who was to be our guide on the expedition.Equipment was checked and repacked for the flight to Luklaand the team’s spirits were high as we left civilisation behindas we finally headed into the mountains.

Nepal is not a large country but getting around can beproblematic, the locals judge distances to the next village notin miles but in days travelled, for once in the mountains thereare no roads only tracks over high level passes and down lowvalleys. We spent 9 days trekking with our porters to get intoBase Camp on the mountain, although this was ideal accli-matisation training for the summit attempt. As we progressedup the mountain the difficulties increased, the falling airpressure and night time temperatures slowing our earlymorning exit from the warmth of our sleeping bags and dailyupward progress to little more than a crawl.

Summit day fell on 2nd Nov. We left our camp at 3 amhaving breakfasted on porridge and noodles and it was verydark, very windy and very cold. Moving as two roped partieswe climbed steadily but slowly up the mountain, the altitudeand incline taking a heavy toll on our progress, till at one pointI had to stop to throw up. Eventually the altitude put paid toany further progress for two of us and at 6300m we turned

back, we were only 140m from thetop. As we descended the sun risecame to warm us and our recoverystarted. We were soon joined by twoothers, one of whom had begun tofeel the first effects of frostbite on histoes and so took the sensibledecision to come down, only 100mfrom the top. As we sat in HighCamp enjoying a brew, we werereunited with the rest of the teamwho were also driven back down bythe cold, as they prepared to fixropes for the final part of the ascent, only 40m from the top.

It would seem that we had failed; we had not achievedour goal. In fact what had been the point, all that effort,months of planning and training, the worry for our familieswhen we lost communications, not to mention the cost?Maybe we should just have stayed at home; we could havejust gone for a walk up Ben Rinnes with the dogs!

But we didn’t, we went to the Himalayas, we took achallenge, we stepped out of the boat, out of the comfort zoneand did something amazing. Life is like that, you have tochallenge yourself or you aren’t moving forward, you aredying; standing still is not an option. You don’t need to go asfar as Nepal, maybe just a 5 minute jog on the beach, younever know where it might take you; the longest journey startswith the first step, but you only get out what you put in.

Although you can get out a whole lot more; filled up tooverflowing, packed down and topped up again. I have foundit is this way with my faith as a Christian, unless I challenge itand work at it, I so easily slip and the ways of the world comeflooding in and life seems to become so difficult. Nobody eversaid it would be easy but everyday I give thanks for a graciousand forgiving Lord who gives me the strength for the realchallenge. The truth is out there, if you are prepared to look.

The next day 3 of the guys felt strong enough for asecond attempt and summited easily on a beautiful, windlessand sunlit morning.

New Year, New Me

So another Hogmanay has comeand gone and we’ve all made resolu-tions - which we’ll maybe keep…for amonth. Am I being too optimistic? Forso often I find it easier to say that I’ll doa thing than to actually carry it out. Ofcourse it is possible to change things inyour life; people do it all the time. Theychange jobs, partners and house,clothes and adopt a new fitter lifestyle -not necessarily all at the same time orwith the same frequency. But all toooften when we do make a change in ourlives we find the same old problemscoming to the surface. The new job stillcomes with irritating colleagues anddemanding bosses; the new partnermay be absolutely wonderful but thereare still arguments over money. Thenew house or new clothes are great fora time but - like all new things they don’tstay new forever. And what about thatnew fitness focussed lifestyle? A surveyrevealed that people who walk dogs

(that’s me folks) are most likely to be stillregularly walking their dog a year on; bycontrast people who join a gym aremuch less likely to be at the gym a yearfrom now. A dog is for life; gym mem-bership is for a moment.

But wait - don’t go and scrap thoseresolutions! It’s not hopeless. Of coursereal change is difficult and does requireus to resolve to change, to commit to itand persevere at it. It does require adecision from us and a willingness toembrace that change. But for real andlasting change we need help; not justthe kind of help you might get from afitness guru or financial adviser but thekind you get from someone muchstronger and smarter than you and I willever be.

Paul, who was one of the greatChristian writers, was someone whospent the early part of his life trying todo his best - constantly making resolu-tions to be a better person. He was

actually quite proud of his efforts untilhe realised that he was in fact goingbackwards. It was then he found that itwas Jesus - the crucified Lord - whocould provide him with the new life heso desperately wanted but couldn’tachieve by himself. He said if we havebeen united with Christ in his death, ‘wewill certainly also be united with him inhis resurrection. For we know that ourold self was crucified with him so thatthe body of sin might be done awaywith, that we should no longer be slavesto sin - because anyone who has diedhas been freed from sin.’ (Romans 6:5)So if we have ‘died’ with Christ, webelieve that we will also live with him.That new life with Christ is not only thehappy result of his sacrifice; it’s also themeans by which those resolutions tobecome a new person are translatedinto a living reality.
