Tissot Everest 2007 Expedition

Klára Poláčková will attempt to conquer the highest mountain in the world – Mt. Everest (8.848m) this spring.

Mt. Everest
In accordance with tradition, in the internationally famous Kathmandu pub, ‘Rum Doodle’ (a ramshackle Aladin’s cave of the preserved footprints, expedition gear and signed photographs of famous mountaineers), you can get a hearty meal and all you can drink for free! However there is an important catch – As a prerequisite for your reward, there is the slight matter of having to conquer Everest first! Why undertake such a huge expedition ‘just because the mountain’s there?’ Could the lure of the Rum Doodle’s generous sumptuous feast be subliminally exercising Klara’s mind?!
