Gavin Bate is climbing Mt. Everest to raise money and awareness for his charity Moving Mountains.
He has been climbing Mount Everest for the past 37 days and has been tweeting updates,and links to his podcast and to his blog.
Bate has been able to tweet despite the lack of oxygen and the thick gloves needed to protect his skin.
In his blog post, Bates reveals that he has been using bottled oxygen and that he will take his laptop to the summit for the world's highest tweet.
Bate has tried to climb Mt. Everest 4 times and hasn't reached the summit yet. He uses a satellite phone to tweet and often includes his exact GPS location.
Bate is selling Tweets from the top of Mount Everest on Ebay for charity. He is hoping to get a bid of $13,500 for his summit tweets.
