Everest Rocks slideshow

Click through to The Adventure Blog to see a video slideshow of the world’s highest rock concert (altitude-wise).

The musical score is by participating musicians.

Jake Norton has recently returned from Nepal, where he took part in the Everest Rocks Trek in which 40 musicians turned into wandering minstrels, playing their music all the way up the Khumbu Valley before performing a concert at Everest Base Camp. It was, in fact, the highest concert ever, and was conducted to raise awareness of the Love Hope Strength Foundation. The concert was a success it would seem, as Jake reports that nearly $500,000 was raised for the Bhaktapur Cancer Hospital in Kathmandu. The funds will go a long way to making it a world class cancer treatment center.

Jake has also sorted through the 5200 photos he took on the trip to put together a great video that helps capture the spirit of the entire event. ..

  1. LOL! Glad you clarified that it was the highest in altitude. Can you imagine if the Grateful Dead performed at Everest BC? Now THAT would be the highest concert ever! 😉
