| Title : Mayo Clinic Climbs Everest For Heart Research |
| Desc : A group of scientists from Mayo Clinic have set off for Mount Everest in Nepal to study the performance of nine climbers as they attempt to reach the summit of the world's highest mountain. The athletes will be monitored from the time they leave base camp at 17,500ft above sea level, up to the summit at 29,000 feet and back down again. The climbers will take two different routes.
