Illness prevented Coronado Mayor Richard Bailey from reaching the summit, but he conducted a City Council meeting during his climb.
Coronado Mayor Richard Bailey barely had time to catch his breath after running the Boston on April 17 before catching a flight to Kathmandu in Nepal.
As committed as he was to making this trek, however, he was equally committed to performing his mayoral duties and not missing a council meeting. One of his research friends informed him that, if he reached the summit, he would be only the third person known to have completed the Boston Marathon then climbed to the top of Mount Everest in the same season.
Instead of hiking from the Base Camp to Camp 1, then to Camp 2, en route to the summit, Bailey took a helicopter to Kathmandu to try to restore his health and strength, before rejoining his team of about 20 hikers and their guides. After a week of illness and recovery, Bailey flew back to base camp on May 10 and was heading out that night on foot. Winds had been buffeting the summit at 100 mph, so the Sherpas hadn’t been able to install climbing lines to the final destination, however, a window was expected to open soon.
