Mandy Moore teamed up with clothing brand Eddie Bauer for a trekking trip to Mount Everest's base camp as part of their "Why I Hike" campaign. She's also working with The Juniper Fund through Eddie Bauer guide Melissa Reid, who is the organization's co-founder.

The "This Is Us" star, who climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in 2018, said that she and her group are referring to their adventure "as an Everest viewing trek in case our plans deviated from the original goal of making it to base camp, placing greater importance on the journey and not the destination."

So far, a total of 10 people have died or are presumed dead from scaling Mount Everest this week. This follows reports of overcrowding at the mountain's "death zone," where oxygen is so limited that the body's cells start to die.

Moore clarified that her trekking journey is different from that of the climbers.

"If all goes well, we will have completed what is only 1 6 of the entire trip for someone who actually climbs 8 weeks total ," she wrote on Instagram. "We stand in awe of the fortitude and training and superhuman strength it takes to attempt a feat like Everest and are deeply honored just to be here and feel the Khumbu vibes."
