Say a prayer for my friend

My good friend Ben is on an expedition (not driving in the Ford variety) in Nepal right now- I do not know how it is going, but he is climbing a mountain called Cho Oyo, which is 8201 meters (somewhere near 26,905 feet) at the summit. I know that he left at the end of August, and I have not yet heard from him, though it may take up to six weeks. I want him to have success in this, as it is the stuff of which his dreams are made.
