Three years ago today on 6th May 2014, Raymond Lee successfully trekked up to the Everest Base Camp (5364m) and to Kala Patthar (5545m) in just under six days to fulfil his goal – to complete three taichi routines at extreme altitude.
He managed to arrive the Base Camp without prior trekking experience or training other than his daily tai chi and qigong practice to ward off altitude sickness and to condition his lower limbs strength and breathing.
This was a life changing experience he will never forget and he would love to do it again in the future with his students, to share the struggle, laughters and possible some tears (of joy!).
