Did They Know What They Were Getting Themselves Into, Going To Mt. Everest?

The Mayo Everest Research Team is on its way home after almost four weeks of packing, traveling, trekking and monitoring with National Geographic, The North Face and Montana State University climbers.  The medical group will be back in the U.S. Saturday night to begin compiling several week's worth of data.

Back in April, before the team left for the Himalayas, some of them needed to equip themselves with mountain gear. Follow their shopping trek in this fun video.
