Climbing Mount Everest[]
On May 18, 2006, Erwin Emata left Camp 4 of Everest and arrived at the summit in 7 hours and 49 minutes with the aid of oxygen. Based on The Himalayan Database published by the American Alpine Club, Emata thereby became the second Filipino to reach the peak of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world.[1]
Like Leo Oracion (the second Filipino to reach Mount Everest's summit), Emata is a member of the First Philippine Mount Everest Expedition (FPMEE). The Himalayan Database published by American Alpine Club had included Leo in the list of Everest South summiteers for 2006 on May 17, officially recognizing him as the first Filipino on top Mount Everest just one day before Emata.[1]
