Lukla airport reports heavy traffic as both trekkers and climbers head for the upper Khumbu Valley. The Everest season has a strong feeling of deja vu, with bigger teams than ever, fewer self-supported climbers than ever, and some familiar record-breakers. 500 climbers?

Finnish duo Peyman, 42, and Sailor, 36, have decided to take a multi-disciplinary challenge to the extreme. Their “5athlon” expedition from Norway to South Africa has six stages and five different disciplines: skiing, running, cycling, swimming, and sailing.
