Dublin pair near Everest summit

Dublin- Dubliners Graham Kinch and Ian Taylor look likely to reach the summit of Mount Everest today.

They have undertaken the challenge to raise funds to build a school in Uganda. The two climbers had expected to have finished their expedition over a week ago but their challenge was delayed due to the Chinese closing the summit trail on the Tibetan side of Everest for the Olympic Torch Ascent. Its believed the men have suffered minor frost bite during their acclimatisation.
