Probe initiated to Fake Summit and credentials of the climber  who is likely to be given the prestigious Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Award

Glad! that a probe has been initiated and the highest authorities are looking into the matter.  It's not about just about faking Everest. it is to what extent a person can stoop to get favours and accolades and he has managed this so well for so many years. Hoping truth wins! and if it does not and he gets the award, I am going to ensure that his Everest Certificate is officially cancelled by the DoT of Nepal. Even if it means it takes a couple of more months! That certificate thought got on faking summit is an authentic certificate as any another genuine Everest has.

So long as individuals are not taught to climb for the love it and constantly told that if you climb Everest you will get this and you will get that these kind of wrongdoings are likely to continue. Rewarding is good but do not reward blindly based on recommendations. A proper check has to be put in place on the capabilities and the efforts put. What experience does the person have?

Even as I write this blog, my sources tell me that the man with the questionable Mountaineering career Narender Singh was part of the Award Ceremony rehearsals yesterday. Imagine, what credibility will this have in the future. 

If this is how National prestigious awards are given it says a lot about the standards we have.    I am still hopeful that truth will win
