Abenojar in the photo he submitted as his "summit photo" |
Dale, or someone from his e-mail has submitted a photo and
the following about Dale: "On May 15, 2006, Dale Abenojar, a Philippine-born
mountaineer and amazingly the first high altitude climb of his life -
finally becomes the first officially recorded Filipino Mt. Everest North
Col summiter. The Chinese Mountaineering Association will present Mr. Abenojar
on May 22 his certified "Mt. Everest North Col Summit Certificate". We asked
for more... Stay Tuned...
Earlier: While the media has announced to the world the first, second
and third Filipinos Summiters, Dale Abenojar is claiming he was first. Dale is
stating he summited on MAY 15th, 2006.
With a witness and a claim of a "summit picture" Dale is
headed to Kathmandu with his claim. Dale states that Tsiring Sherpa summited
with him on May 15th... Dale was on the Tibet side of Everest, while the
others were on the Nepal side...
SO was it the 1-2-3 finish or the 1-2-3-4 finish? We should
know in a few days. However, we expect the media will not take this all
well...
Heavily sponsored Heracleo "Leo" Oracion claimed the first
Everest summit by the Filipino, followed by Erwin "Pastor" Emata and then
Romeo Garduce, a member of the University of the Philippines...
FPMEE was backed by ABS-CBN media network while Garduce was
backed by rival GMA-7. Did a little known climber climbing on a small Nepal
company's permit get there first? We will find out next week..
