For weeks now, he and about a dozen more Filipinos have been trying in vain to solicit sponsorship from corporations for another expedition to Mt. Everest next year which they call "The Unity Climb."

Sources said the all-Filipino crew headed by Art Valdez had severed its ties with The North Face because the latter is also sponsoring rival climber Romi Garduce, who is hoping to overtake the squad in scaling the world’s highest peak.
