Freddy's Everest Diary

While Pat was leading his team on Everest in spring 2003 more than 200,000 children logged on to the team's website to follow their story. For those young fans and for the many yet to be touched by this story, Pat and Clare compiled a daily diary and posted it on their website. But this was no ordinary diary. Accompanying the team was Frederick T. Bear, Freddy for short. This diary chronicles in words and beautiful images the amazing adventures of Freddy as he attempts to climb Everest. Find out all about getting to base camp, living there, the food, the dangers of climbing through icefalls, coping with cold, thin air, and working with Sherpas. As Freddy struggles to make his dream come true, his diary is inspiring. Watch out for further installments as Freddy accompanies Pat back to Everest in 2004 and to Antarctica in 2005!
