Freddy’s Everest Diary: The Dream of Fredrick T Bear

While Pat Falvey was leading his team on Everest in spring 2003 more than 200,0000 children in Ireland logged on to the team’s web site to follow their story. For those young fans and for the many yet to be touched by this story, Pat and Claire compiled a daily diary and posted it on the web site. But this was no ordinary diary. Accompanying the team was Frederick T Bear, Freddy for short, and this diary chronicles in words and beautiful images the amazing adventures of Freddy as he attempts to climb Everest. Find out all the details of getting to base camp, living there, the food, the dangers of climbing through icefalls, coping with the cold and thin air, and working with the Sherpas in this real-life diary. As Freddy struggles to make his dream come true, his diary is as inspiring as it is educationa. Watch out for further instalments as Freddy accompanies Pat to Antarctica in 2005!
