Emil Guillermo: Sherpas in U.S. pray for Nepal after earthquake.(UPDATED)

Serap Jangbu Sherpa wrote on his Facebook page: “Everybody please let’s take a moment to pray for Nepal and all the Nepalese. It was a massive attack from Mother Nature but please stay strong. Those public monuments we lost, we will raise it again.”

Serap has climbed Mt. Everest three times.

Three.

He knows how to overcome difficulty.

But he still isn’t sure how the quake will affect the climbing season with a month to go.   See my column here.

Hard to imagine anything returning to normal.

The injury numbers  coming in are staggering.

As of Sunday morning, more than 2,200 now confirmed dead,  and the aftershocks continue.
